Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of thiourea derivatives and thiazole-based pharmaceuticals. It serves as a sulfur-transfer reagent in organic transformations, enabling the introduction of dithiocarbamate functionality in agrochemicals and medicinal agents. Its reactivity makes it valuable in the development of vulcanization accelerators for rubber processing and in the design of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or antifungal properties.
