Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its ester structure and cycloaliphatic ring contribute to stability and specific olfactory characteristics, making it valuable in creating musk-like or fruity notes in perfumery. It may also serve as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals where a substituted cyclohexyl moiety is required. Its moderate polarity and volatility make it suitable for use in solvent-based systems and controlled-release formulations.
