Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of fragrances and flavor compounds. Its allyl and allyloxy functional groups allow for versatile reactivity, making it suitable for use in coupling reactions and cyclization processes. It serves in the preparation of more complex aromatic systems found in perfumery, where it contributes to the stability and diffusion of scent molecules. Additionally, it finds use in the development of specialty polymers and resins due to its ability to undergo polymerization under appropriate catalytic conditions.
