Used as a key reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of oximes and hydroxylamine derivatives. It serves as a protected form of hydroxylamine, allowing selective reactions in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its stability and solubility make it suitable for use in aqueous and organic reaction systems. Commonly employed in the modification of ketones and aldehydes, enabling the formation of intermediates in drug development processes. Also utilized in the production of specialty polymers where controlled nitrogen incorporation is required.
