Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structural motif is valuable in creating analogs for serotonin and dopamine receptor modulators. The compound is also employed in the preparation of selective inhibitors for enzymes involved in neurological pathways, making it relevant in research for antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs. Due to the presence of the amine functionality and the strained cyclopropane ring, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Its fluorinated aryl group enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in resulting drug candidates.
