Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents, particularly in the production of triazole-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure allows for effective binding to fungal enzyme targets, making it valuable in developing drugs that inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis. Also employed in agrochemicals for crop protection due to its antifungal properties. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing new bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial and anticancer activities.
