Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fungicides and antifungal agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in agrochemicals and medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of triazole-based compounds that exhibit strong enzyme inhibition properties, especially against cytochrome P450 enzymes in pathogenic fungi. Also utilized in the design of corrosion inhibitors and in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes.
