Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common motifs in bioactive molecules. It serves as an intermediate in the development of antifungal and anticancer agents due to the stability and reactivity of the triazole ring. Also utilized in materials science for creating fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials, benefiting from extended conjugation when modified. Its vinyl linkage allows for polymerization or coupling reactions, making it useful in designing functional polymers and sensors.
