Commonly employed in the synthesis of esters, which are used as flavoring agents and fragrances in the food and cosmetic industries. Also serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Its mild reactivity and favorable evaporation rate make it suitable for use in cleaning agents and degreasers. Additionally, it finds application as a denaturant for ethanol, rendering it unsuitable for consumption while maintaining its utility in industrial processes.
