Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports binding to fungal enzyme targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs that inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis. Also investigated for its potential in agrochemicals due to antifungal and plant growth-regulating properties. Shows promise in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes with catalytic or biological activity.
