Used primarily as an electrophilic aminating agent in organic synthesis, enabling the direct introduction of nitrogen into carbon nucleophiles such as enolates, organometallic reagents, and activated aromatic systems. It is particularly valuable for the preparation of hydrazine derivatives and α-amino carbonyl compounds. Its reactivity allows for selective amination under mild conditions, making it useful in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis where nitrogen-containing structures are prevalent. The compound facilitates efficient bond formation in heterocycle synthesis and is employed in the development of bioactive molecules and functional materials.
