Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the development of biologically active molecules. It serves in the preparation of thiadiazole and dithiazole derivatives, which exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Applied in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactive sulfur and nitrogen sites. Also utilized in materials science for creating sulfur-rich polymers and ligands for metal coordination in catalysis. Its ability to form stable complexes makes it useful in analytical chemistry for metal ion detection and extraction.
