Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the development of agricultural fungicides. It contributes to the formation of triazole-based compounds that inhibit fungal ergosterol biosynthesis, disrupting cell membrane integrity. Also employed in research for pharmaceuticals due to its reactive amine and triazole functionalities, enabling the creation of biologically active molecules. Its iodide salt form enhances stability and solubility in synthetic processes.
