Used as a specialty ester in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its pleasant fruity odor. It serves as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers, helping improve flexibility and durability in polymers. Also employed in the formulation of perfumes and cosmetic products where mild, long-lasting scent profiles are desired. Its reactivity allows for easy modification in multi-step chemical processes, making it valuable in fine chemical manufacturing.
