Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of specialty chemicals and fragrances. Its alkyne functionality allows for use in coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecular frameworks. It can also serve in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where branched hydrocarbon chains with specific substitution patterns are required. Due to its structure, it may be employed in research settings to study reaction mechanisms involving alkynes or to create custom molecules with tailored physical properties.
