Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of systemic agents effective against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens in crops. Its structure enables strong binding to fungal enzyme sites, disrupting growth and reproduction. Commonly applied in seed treatment and foliar sprays for cereals, fruits, and vegetables to control diseases like rusts, powdery mildew, and blights. Also explored for use in pharmaceutical research due to its bioactive scaffold, showing potential in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial applications.
