Used as a source of benzene radical in organic synthesis, particularly in radical reactions under mild conditions. It serves as a reagent for the introduction of phenyl groups in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly applied in transition-metal-free arylation processes, making it valuable in the development of complex organic molecules. Also utilized in polymer chemistry as a radical initiator for controlled polymerizations. Its stability and ease of handling make it suitable for laboratory-scale reactions requiring selective radical generation.
