Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pyrethroid insecticides, this compound plays a key role in the production of agrochemicals designed to protect crops from insect damage. Its cyclopropane structure contributes to enhanced stability and biological activity in the final pesticide formulations. Due to its specific stereochemistry and lipophilic nature, it helps improve the efficacy and selectivity of insecticides targeting pests in agriculture and public health. It is not used directly as an active ingredient but serves as a building block in multi-step chemical processes leading to commercially important pyrethroids.
