This compound is sometimes used to cleave pthalamides in the Gabriel synthesis, and as the reducing agent in a reaction sometimes carried out in ethylene glycol, the Wolff-Kishner reduction.
A tosylated version of this compound is used in the preparation step of the Shapiro reaction, while derivatives of this compound are iodinated in the Barton vinyl iodide procedure. FCCP contains this compound bridging a pair of nitrile groups attached to a methyl, and it can be produced from hydrogen peroxide through an oxaziridine intermediate in the Atofina-PCUK cycle, but is more commonly produced from sodium hypochlorite in the Olin Raschig process.
