Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of agricultural fungicides. Its structure enables effective inhibition of fungal growth by interfering with essential metabolic pathways in pathogenic fungi. Commonly incorporated into systemic fungicide formulations that protect crops such as cereals, fruits, and vegetables from diseases like rusts, powdery mildew, and leaf spots. Also investigated for its potential in pharmaceutical applications due to its bioactive scaffold, showing promise in the design of new antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compounds.
