Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It also serves in the production of specialty polymers and resins due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures. Its derivatives are explored for use in controlled-release formulations because of their slow hydrolysis characteristics. Additionally, it finds application in the preparation of nitrogen-rich compounds for flame retardants and in research related to cyclic urea analogs for medicinal chemistry.
