Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of modern fungicides and insecticides. Its structure enables effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents, offering high potency against a range of plant pathogens. The compound's lipophilic nature enhances membrane permeability, improving uptake in plants. It is also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential bioactive molecules due to its resemblance to pharmacophores in drug design.
