Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports activity against certain strains of bacteria and fungi by interfering with cellular processes in pathogens. It has also been investigated for use in agrochemicals due to its bioactive properties, contributing to the creation of crop protection agents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry for developing novel compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
