Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of systemic agents that protect crops from fungal infections. Its structure enables effective disruption of fungal cell growth, making it valuable in crop protection formulations. Also investigated for use in specialty chemicals requiring biocidal properties, including wood preservatives and industrial antimicrobial agents. Shows potential in research for new antifungal pharmaceuticals due to its triazole-thiol core, which is known for biological activity.
