Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of triazole-containing pharmaceuticals, particularly antifungal agents like fluconazole and related derivatives. Its structure allows for effective coordination with biological targets involved in fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in agrochemicals for developing fungicides due to its ability to disrupt ergosterol biosynthesis in pathogenic fungi. Additionally, serves as a building block in coordination chemistry, forming metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with potential applications in catalysis and sensing.
