Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for selective reactivity in organic transformations, making it valuable in creating bioactive molecules. It is also employed in research settings for the preparation of chiral auxiliaries and nitroxide radicals used in catalysis and polymer stabilization. Due to its reactivity with carbonyl compounds, it finds use in the formation of oxime derivatives for analytical and synthetic applications.
