Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports activity against a range of fungal pathogens by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. It is also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, where it contributes to the efficacy of certain fungicides used in crop protection. Additionally, this compound serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing new bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
