Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the production of certain pesticides due to its carbamate structure, which can exhibit insecticidal or nematicidal activity. Also employed in research settings for the development of enzyme inhibitors, particularly in studies involving cholinesterase enzymes. Its relatively simple structure and reactivity make it useful in organic synthesis for introducing dimethylcarbamoyl groups.
