It serves in the production of esters that are key components in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. Also employed as a solvent or modifier in coatings and adhesives where moderate polarity and slow evaporation rate are beneficial. Additionally, it finds use in the formulation of specialty cleaning agents and as a reagent in organic synthesis for introducing alkyl chains in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing.
