Used as a catalyst and intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its tertiary amine structure makes it effective in promoting coupling reactions and serving as a building block for more complex amine-containing molecules. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its solubility and reactivity profile. Also utilized in the formulation of specialty polymers and as a reagent in research laboratories for amide and ester formation.
