Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicides, particularly in agricultural chemicals targeting plant pathogens. Its structure enables effective inhibition of fungal growth, making it valuable in crop protection products. Commonly applied in formulations to control powdery mildew and other fungal diseases in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Shows high efficacy at low application rates, contributing to reduced environmental impact. Also investigated for use in combination with other active ingredients to enhance spectrum and prevent resistance development in target fungi.
