Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain pesticides and agrochemicals, particularly carbamate-based insecticides and nematicides. It plays a key role in the production of compounds that disrupt the nervous systems of target pests, offering broad-spectrum control in crop protection. Due to its reactivity, it is also utilized in the preparation of thiourea derivatives and other heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. Its application is mainly confined to industrial-scale chemical manufacturing rather than direct use in formulations.
