Used as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of drugs containing tetrazole rings, which are known to act as bioisosteres for carboxylic acids. Enhances metabolic stability and improves bioavailability in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Employed in the preparation of angiotensin II receptor antagonists, such as certain antihypertensive medications. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the synthesis of plant growth regulators and pesticides due to its ability to modulate biological activity. Serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry for catalytic applications.
