Used as a strong base in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It facilitates reactions such as esterification, condensation, and deprotonation due to its high basicity and nucleophilicity. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients where anhydrous basic conditions are required. Also used as a catalyst in certain polymerization processes and in the manufacturing of agrochemicals. Its solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for reactions in non-aqueous environments.
