Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of carbamate pesticides, this compound plays a key role in agricultural chemistry. It contributes to the development of pest control agents due to its reactivity and ability to form biologically active carbamate derivatives. These derivatives often act as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, disrupting nervous system function in insects. Its application is mainly confined to controlled industrial processes rather than direct use in the field. Due to its reactivity and potential toxicity, handling requires strict safety protocols to prevent exposure and environmental contamination.
