Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides. Its structure enables effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents. It is also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals due to its role in enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity in active compounds. Commonly used in the synthesis of active ingredients targeting fungal pathogens in agriculture, especially in systemic fungicides for cereals and fruits.
