Used primarily as a fumigant for agricultural products and in pest control due to its ability to penetrate packaging and kill insects without leaving residues. Also serves as a solvent in some industrial processes, especially where low boiling point and fast evaporation are needed. Employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals such as formic acid and dimethyl carbonate. Additionally, it functions as a blowing agent in the production of foam materials and has been explored as a refrigerant in certain cooling systems due to its favorable thermodynamic properties.
