Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the production of triazole-based pharmaceuticals such as fluconazole and itraconazole. It plays an important role in agrochemical formulations, serving in the development of fungicides that protect crops from fungal infections. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing new bioactive molecules. Also investigated for its potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand in metal-organic frameworks with catalytic or antimicrobial properties.
