Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of sulfonamide-based bioactive compounds. It serves as a derivatizing agent for carbonyl compounds in analytical chemistry, enhancing detection in chromatographic methods. Also employed in the development of novel hydrazide-hydrazone compounds with potential antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Its bulky tert-butyl group improves selectivity and stability in reaction pathways, making it valuable in fine chemical synthesis.
