Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports activity against a range of pathogenic fungi by inhibiting essential fungal enzymes. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs targeting Candida and Aspergillus species. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing fungicides in crop protection due to its ability to disrupt fungal cell growth. Shows promise in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for optimizing antifungal potency and selectivity.
