Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antiparasitic agents. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of the imidazole ring, which is common in bioactive molecules. Also employed in the preparation of ionic liquids for use in catalysis and organic synthesis, where it contributes to improved reaction efficiency and stability. Additionally, finds application in agrochemical research for developing crop protection agents.
