Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal and antimicrobial agents, particularly in the development of novel triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports activity against resistant fungal strains by targeting ergosterol biosynthesis. Also investigated for its potential in agrochemicals, serving as a building block for new fungicides with improved environmental profiles. The compound's thione and bromo functionalities allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery programs.
