Used as a solvent in organic synthesis, paints, lacquers, and coatings due to its good solvency and moderate evaporation rate. Also employed in the production of perfumes and flavorings owing to its mild, camphor-like odor. Serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other chemicals such as tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME). Utilized in laboratories as a denaturant for ethanol, rendering it unfit for consumption. Its relatively low toxicity compared to other alcohols permits use in select consumer products under controlled conditions. Additionally, applied in research for extraction and purification of various substances.
