Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance compounds, particularly in the production of synthetic sandalwood scents. Its unique siloxy-substituted diene structure allows for selective hydrogenation and functionalization, making it valuable in fine chemical manufacturing. It is also employed in the development of specialty silicon-containing organic molecules for perfumery, where stability and odor profile are critical. Due to its reactive diene system, it participates in Diels-Alder reactions to build complex cyclic frameworks in aroma chemicals.
