Used primarily as an analytical reference standard in research laboratories for the detection and quantification of pesticide metabolites. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of thiocarbamate-based compounds, which are commonly found in certain classes of pesticides and herbicides. Due to its structural properties, it is also utilized in the development and validation of mass spectrometry and chromatographic methods, especially in environmental and biological monitoring studies where accurate identification of pesticide breakdown products is required. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for use in controlled laboratory synthesis and method optimization. Additionally, it is employed in organic chemistry research to synthesize piperidine-based derivatives for studying biological activities.
