Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of sulfamide and thiourea derivatives with biological activity. Its isothiocyanate group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules for crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of fluorinated building blocks where the trifluoromethylsulfanyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
