Functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, contributing to the development of bioactive molecules. Used as a starting material in the synthesis of cyclic compounds featuring heterocyclic structures, which are crucial in synthetic chemistry research, particularly for developing drugs and biopharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in constructing biologically active structures, such as antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, it is employed in research to refine synthetic methods for complex compounds, leveraging the benzoyl and tert-butyl groups to control reactions and enhance selectivity in bond-forming steps. Shows activity in some fungicidal formulations, enhancing crop protection in agriculture.
