Widely used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis, particularly for reactions requiring high solvation power without interfering with the process. It is effective in facilitating nucleophilic substitution reactions, cyclizations, and polymerizations. Its high boiling point and thermal stability make it suitable for high-temperature reactions. Additionally, it is employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, where it enhances reaction yields and selectivity. Its low toxicity and ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds further expand its utility in industrial and laboratory applications.
