Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antiviral agents. It plays a key role in creating compounds that target specific enzymes or proteins in pathogens. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for designing pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to inhibit essential biological processes in pests and weeds. Its versatile structure also makes it valuable in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules in material science and fine chemical industries.
