Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicidal agents, particularly in agricultural chemistry for controlling plant pathogens. Its structure enables incorporation into active ingredients targeting resistant fungal strains in crops. Commonly applied in the development of strobilurin-class fungicides, offering broad-spectrum protection in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Exhibits strong systemic activity and photostability, enhancing field performance under sunlight. Also explored for its role in improving crop yield by protecting against diseases like powdery mildew and rust.
