Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal medications, particularly in the production of triazole-based drugs. Its structure supports the development of compounds that inhibit fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes, crucial for ergosterol biosynthesis. This makes it valuable in pharmaceutical research and development for treating systemic fungal infections. It is also employed in the preparation of novel agrochemicals due to its bioactive scaffold, showing potential in crop protection agents. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification, enabling the creation of diverse derivatives for structure-activity relationship studies in drug discovery.
