Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides and fungicides, particularly in the production of dithiocarbamate-based agrochemicals. It serves as a methylating agent in organic reactions where sulfur-containing functional groups are involved. Also employed in the preparation of rubber chemicals and vulcanization accelerators, enhancing the curing process of rubber. Its reactivity makes it valuable in the development of specialty chemicals for industrial applications, including lubricant additives and stabilizers.
