Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fungicides belonging to the imidazolidinedione group, this compound enables the production of agents effective against fungal pathogens causing diseases in plants, particularly rust and black mold in economic crops such as rice, beans, and various vegetables. The resulting fungicides work by inhibiting fungal cell wall formation, preventing fungal growth.

Additionally, it has been developed as an ingredient in antifungal products for construction materials and plastics, owing to its good stability against heat and UV light, making it suitable for long-term environmental exposure.

Some research indicates that this compound inhibits certain enzymes involved in inflammation, suggesting potential for development as an active ingredient in future medical products.
