Used in the fragrance industry as a flavor and aroma compound, particularly in the creation of fruity and citrus-like scents. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty flavorants due to its ester structure and pleasant odor profile. Its application extends to perfumery where it contributes to top-note freshness in consumer products such as soaps, detergents, and personal care items. Additionally, it is employed in research settings as a building block for more complex heterocyclic compounds in flavor and fragrance chemistry.
