Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of next-generation systemic agents targeting fungal pathogens in crops. Its structure enables effective disruption of fungal respiration by inhibiting mitochondrial complex III, offering broad-spectrum protection in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Also explored for its role in enhancing metabolic stability in agrochemical formulations, improving rainfastness and longevity of active ingredients. Shows promise in green chemistry applications due to moderate environmental persistence and targeted mode of action.
