Used primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antifungal and antimicrobial agents. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of triazole-based drugs, which are effective against a wide range of fungal infections. Additionally, it finds application in agricultural chemistry for creating fungicides that protect crops from fungal diseases. Its role in organic synthesis also extends to the preparation of dyes and pigments, contributing to the coloration of various materials.
