Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its ester functionality and cycloaliphatic structure. Its pleasant fruity or floral odor makes it suitable for use in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis where a cyclohexyl alkyl chain is required, offering metabolic stability and lipophilicity to drug candidates. It may also be employed in the preparation of specialty polymers or plasticizers where moderate volatility and solubility characteristics are beneficial.
