Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of novel imidazole-based drugs. Its structure supports activity against a range of fungal pathogens by inhibiting essential enzyme systems involved in ergosterol biosynthesis. Due to its fluorinated aromatic groups, it exhibits enhanced metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Also investigated for potential applications in agrochemicals due to its bioactivity profile.
