Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly fungicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in the production of certain thiophanate-based pesticides, which are effective against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens in crops. Its structure allows for the development of systemic plant protection agents that are absorbed and distributed within the plant tissue, offering both preventive and curative action. Due to its reactivity, it is also utilized in the preparation of other carbamimidothioate derivatives for crop protection chemistry.
