Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Shows potential in the development of antifungal and antimicrobial agents due to the imidazole moiety, which is commonly found in drugs targeting fungal infections. Also investigated for its role in central nervous system agents, where it may influence neurotransmitter modulation. Employed in agrochemical research for designing new fungicides. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in creating libraries of compounds for drug discovery and screening.
