Used primarily in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, this compound acts as a key intermediate in creating active ingredients for crop protection products. Its reactivity makes it valuable in forming urea and carbamate derivatives, which are common structural elements in pesticides and herbicides. It is also employed in the development of specialty polymers and resins where controlled cross-linking is required. Due to its isocyanate functionality, it readily reacts with amines and alcohols, enabling its use in step-growth polymerization and the production of custom polyurethanes. Handling requires strict safety controls due to high toxicity and reactivity.
