Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in antifungal and antiviral agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of triazole-based drugs due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in the development of agrochemicals, including plant growth regulators and fungicides, where it contributes to enhanced bioactivity and metabolic stability. Also utilized in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal ions in catalytic systems. Its hydrochloride form improves solubility and handling in aqueous reaction environments.
