Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of next-generation systemic agents targeting resistant fungal strains. Its structure enables enhanced penetration and stability in plant tissues, improving efficacy against pathogens like powdery mildew and rust. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory applications due to its bioactive scaffold. The hydrochloride form improves solubility and handling in formulation processes.
