Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylureas, this compound plays a key role in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing. It reacts with amines to form sulfonylureas, which are essential in the production of antidiabetic drugs, herbicides, and other therapeutic agents. It is also employed in the development of agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of certain pesticides. Due to its reactivity, particularly the isocyanate group that readily reacts with nucleophiles such as amines and alcohols to form sulfonylureas and carbamates, it is valuable in organic synthesis for introducing sulfonyl functional groups into more complex molecules. Its application extends to research laboratories for designing novel compounds with potential biological activity.
