Used in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of enantiomerically pure active ingredients. Its isocyanate group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable for constructing urea and urethane linkages in drug molecules. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis routes for cardiovascular and central nervous system agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing bioactive compounds with improved selectivity and reduced side effects.
