Used as a building block in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the synthesis of antifungal agents, HIV protease inhibitors, and anti-tuberculosis drugs. It is also employed in agrochemicals to enhance stability and biological activity. The 1,2,3-triazole ring is a key motif generated via click chemistry (CuAAC reactions between azides and alkynes), and this compound serves as a versatile intermediate in drug discovery, bioconjugation, and labeling of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA. Additionally, it is applied in materials science for developing corrosion inhibitors, polymers, photo-stabilizers, catalysts, functional plastics, and specialty coatings.
