Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) like losartan and valsartan, which are widely prescribed for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Its tetrazole ring mimics the carboxylic acid group in biological systems, enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes due to its nitrogen-rich structure, showing potential in catalysis and material science. Additionally, finds use in agrochemicals for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators.
