Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicidal agents, particularly in agricultural chemistry for controlling a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens in crops. It exhibits strong activity against rusts, powdery mildews, and other plant-damaging fungi when incorporated into systemic fungicide formulations. Its structure supports high binding affinity to fungal enzyme targets, enhancing efficacy at low application rates. Commonly employed in seed treatment and foliar sprays for cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Also investigated for use in combination products to manage resistance development in target pathogens.
