Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, particularly in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its isocyanate group reacts readily with amines, alcohols, and other nucleophiles, making it valuable for creating urethanes, ureas, and other derivatives. In agrochemicals, it contributes to the development of herbicides and insecticides. In pharmaceuticals, it is utilized in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug intermediates. Additionally, it finds application in polymer chemistry for modifying resins and coatings, enhancing their properties such as adhesion and durability.
