Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its thioamide functionality allows it to participate in reactions that form heterocyclic compounds, which are common structural motifs in bioactive molecules. It can also serve as a building block in the development of sulfur-containing functional materials. Due to its reactivity, it is employed in the synthesis of thiourea derivatives and other sulfur-nitrogen compounds with potential biological activity.
