Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of epoxy resins, especially those requiring high reactivity and thermal stability. Commonly employed in the production of specialty polymers and crosslinking agents for coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. Also utilized in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes due to its ability to introduce reactive epoxide groups. Plays a role in the synthesis of ion-exchange resins and water treatment chemicals. Its high reactivity makes it valuable in organic synthesis for creating bromohydrin derivatives and other functionalized compounds.
