Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of next-generation crop protection agents targeting fungal pathogens in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Its structure enables effective inhibition of fungal respiration, making it valuable in systemic fungicide formulations. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for potential antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents due to its bioactive scaffold. Shows promise in agrochemical innovation where resistance management and environmental safety are critical.
