Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antifungal and antiviral agents. Its structure supports enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to improve potency and selectivity against specific biological targets. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents due to its electron-withdrawing properties and resistance to degradation.
