Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its pleasant odor profile. It serves in the production of esters that are employed in perfumery for their fruity and floral notes. Also utilized as a solvent or co-solvent in specialty formulations where mild reactivity and good solvency are required. Its branched structure contributes to lower volatility, making it suitable for long-lasting fragrance applications. Additionally, it finds use in the formulation of coatings and adhesives as a modifier to improve flow and reduce surface tension.
