Used as a functional monomer in molecular imprinting technology, particularly for developing sensors and separation systems that target sweeteners or structurally similar compounds. Its saccharin-like moiety enables selective binding, while the methacrylamide group allows polymerization, making it valuable in creating recognition sites within polymeric matrices. Also explored in the design of taste-masking materials and controlled release systems in pharmaceuticals due to its ability to mimic sweetener structure while participating in polymer networks.
