Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its reactivity as an isocyanate makes it valuable for forming urea and carbamate derivatives, which are common structural motifs in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and bioactivity. Commonly used in research settings for labeling and derivatization reactions involving amines and alcohols.
