Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the production of triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports the development of drugs that inhibit fungal ergosterol biosynthesis, making it valuable in treatments for infections like candidiasis and dermatophytosis. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing fungicides due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and target specificity. Shows potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal-organic frameworks with catalytic or antimicrobial properties.
