Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It plays a key role in the production of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is utilized to create active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for drug development. In agrochemicals, it aids in the synthesis of pesticides and herbicides. Additionally, it is employed in the manufacture of polyurethane foams, coatings, and adhesives, contributing to the enhancement of material properties. Its reactivity with amines and alcohols makes it valuable for introducing functional groups in organic synthesis.
