Widely used as a solvent in industrial and laboratory settings due to its high solvating power and thermal stability. It is essential in the production of acrylic fibers and synthetic leathers, where it facilitates polymer dissolution and processing. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing for reactions such as peptide coupling and in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Also used in the electronics industry for the fabrication of semiconductors and in the purification of gas streams due to its ability to absorb impurities. Its polarity and aprotic nature make it suitable for various organic transformations, including substitution and condensation reactions.
