Widely used as a solvent in industrial and laboratory settings due to its high polarity and ability to mix with water and most organic solvents. It is essential in the production of acrylic fibers and synthetic leather, where it facilitates polymer dissolution and processing. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing for synthesis reactions, especially in the preparation of antibiotics and vitamins. Also used in the electronics industry for cleaning and etching semiconductors. Plays a role in polyamide and polyimide membrane formation for water treatment and gas separation. Its ability to stabilize reaction intermediates makes it valuable in organic synthesis, including condensation reactions and catalytic processes.
