Used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfimides and related sulfur-nitrogen compounds. It serves as an iminating agent for the conversion of carbonyl compounds into imines or enamines under mild conditions. Its reactivity is exploited in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals where selective nitrogen transfer is required. The compound’s stability and selectivity make it valuable in multi-step synthetic routes, especially in heterocycle formation and functional group transformations.
