Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of advanced crop protection agents. Its structure enables effective targeting of fungal pathogens in plants, enhancing the potency and stability of active ingredients in agrochemical formulations. Widely applied in the creation of systemic fungicides that protect cereals, fruits, and vegetables against diseases like rusts, powdery mildew, and leaf spots. Its difluoromethyl groups contribute to improved lipophilicity and bioavailability, increasing penetration and persistence in plant tissues. Also explored in research for pharmaceutical applications due to its potential in modulating biological activity in heterocyclic compounds.
