Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports the design of bioactive molecules due to the presence of the imidazole ring and aryl substituents, which enhance binding to biological targets. Employed in research for new drug candidates targeting fungal infections and immune-related disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes and materials for optoelectronic applications due to its conjugated aromatic system.
