Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and functionalized polymers. Its allyl group enables crosslinking reactions via radical or palladium-catalyzed pathways, making it valuable in polymer chemistry and pharmaceutical development. Commonly employed in the modification of resins and coatings to enhance reactivity and adhesion properties. Also utilized in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where a carboxylic acid and an allyl ether functionality are required in the molecular scaffold.
