Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the production of next-generation systemic agents targeting fungal pathogens in crops. Its structure enables effective penetration into plant tissues, providing long-lasting protection against diseases like rusts, powdery mildew, and leaf spots. Due to its trans-configuration, it offers enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability in plants, improving efficacy at lower application rates. It is also utilized in the development of novel plant health regulators that promote stress resistance and improve crop yield under adverse environmental conditions.
