Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the modification of resins and functionalization of polymers. It serves as a spacer molecule in the synthesis of dendrimers and other branched macromolecules due to its bifunctional reactive sites. Employed in the preparation of ion-exchange membranes and in the pharmaceutical field as an intermediate for drug delivery systems. Also utilized in the production of specialty chemicals where controlled molecular spacing is required. Its reactivity allows for efficient coupling in organic synthesis, especially in creating tailored molecular architectures.
