Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its phenolic structure and aromatic character. It also serves in the production of antioxidants for polymers and lubricants, helping to prevent degradation from heat and oxidation. Additionally, it has been explored as a building block in agrochemical formulations and in the development of specialty surfactants. Its derivatives may exhibit biocidal properties, making it relevant in certain antimicrobial applications.
