Used primarily as an analytical reference standard in environmental and agricultural testing to detect and quantify carbamate pesticide residues. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of certain pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Due to its structural properties, it is also employed in research settings to study enzyme inhibition, particularly acetylcholinesterase activity, which is critical in neurotoxicology and pesticide development. Its well-defined reactivity makes it suitable for calibration in chromatographic and spectrometric methods.
