Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of specialty polymers and pharmaceuticals. Its vinyl and carbamate functional groups allow for polymerization reactions and the formation of urethane linkages, making it valuable in developing coatings, adhesives, and surface modifiers. It also serves in the synthesis of bioactive molecules due to the reactivity and stability offered by the carbamate moiety. Commonly employed in research settings for designing novel functional materials and drug candidates.
