Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its isocyanato group readily reacts with compounds containing active hydrogen, enabling the formation of urethane or urea derivatives. It also serves in the preparation of specialty polymers and crosslinking agents, where controlled reactivity and stability under processing conditions are required. Due to its sensitivity to moisture, it is handled under anhydrous conditions in industrial applications.
