Used as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in epoxy resin systems, enhancing flexibility and adhesion in coatings and composites. Its epoxide functionality enables curing with amines or anhydrides, making it suitable for high-performance adhesives and electronic encapsulants. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group acts as a protecting group in multi-step organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized amines for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Also employed in the development of specialty polymers with tailored thermal and mechanical properties.
