Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for sulfur-containing compounds due to its reactive sulfide functional group. Commonly employed in research settings to study sulfur chemistry and reaction mechanisms. Also utilized in the preparation of flavor and fragrance compounds, where sulfur derivatives contribute to distinctive aroma profiles. Its volatility and sulfur content make it suitable for specialized applications in material science and catalysis.
