Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiparasitic and antifungal agents. Its structure supports activity against certain pathogens by interfering with cellular processes in microorganisms. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing crop protection agents due to its stability and reactivity. Limited solubility in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it suitable for formulation in specialized delivery systems. Not used directly as a final product but valued for its role in building more complex bioactive molecules.
