Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicides, particularly in agricultural chemistry for controlling plant pathogens. Its structure enables effective interference with fungal cell growth, making it valuable in crop protection formulations. Commonly applied in the development of systemic fungicides that are absorbed by plant tissues, providing long-lasting defense against diseases like rusts, powdery mildew, and leaf spots. Also utilized in research for designing new agrochemicals with improved stability and lower environmental impact.
