Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of insecticides and fungicides. Its isocyanate functional group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable for constructing urea and urethane derivatives with bioactive properties. It is also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and coatings where enhanced thermal stability and chemical resistance are required. Due to its reactivity, it is handled under controlled conditions for safe incorporation into complex molecules.
