Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antibacterial agents. Its structure is valuable in creating compounds that target microbial infections effectively. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, contributing to the production of pesticides and herbicides that protect crops from pests and diseases. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic chemistry research for the development of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential applications in medicinal chemistry and material science.
