Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, particularly carbamate-based insecticides. It plays a key role in forming active ingredients that target pest nervous systems, offering effective crop protection in agriculture. The compound’s reactivity allows for efficient ester and carbamate bond formation, making it valuable in agrochemical manufacturing. It may also find use in specialty organic synthesis where controlled release or derivatization of carbamic structures is required. Handling requires caution due to potential hydrolysis and release of toxic byproducts.
