Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its phenolic and allyl functional groups. It serves in the preparation of resins and polymers where reactivity of the allyl chain allows for cross-linking or further modification. Also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, leveraging its aromatic structure for building active ingredients. Its antimicrobial properties make it suitable for use in preservatives and biocides. Additionally, it finds application in the development of specialty chemicals such as antioxidants and UV stabilizers.
