Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules, especially those targeting neurological disorders. The compound's amine functionality allows for further derivatization, enabling the creation of analogs for structure-activity relationship studies. It is also employed in the preparation of receptor ligands where the cyclopropane ring and halogenated aryl group contribute to binding affinity and metabolic stability.
