Used as a solvent in organic synthesis due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar substances. It is particularly effective in reactions involving organometallic compounds, where it helps stabilize reactive intermediates. Commonly employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and resins. Also used as a coupling agent in liquid-liquid extraction processes and as a component in some chromatography mobile phases. Its low volatility and high boiling point make it suitable for use in high-temperature reactions. Additionally, it serves as a protective group carrier in synthesis due to its stability under various reaction conditions.
