Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicidal agents, particularly in agricultural chemistry for crop protection. It exhibits strong activity against a range of plant pathogens, especially in controlling powdery mildew and rust fungi in cereals and fruits. Its structure enables effective binding to fungal enzyme sites, disrupting growth and reproduction. Commonly incorporated into systemic fungicide formulations due to its stability and penetration properties in plant tissues. Also investigated for use in combination products to manage resistance development in target pathogens.
