Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of specialty polymers and functional materials. Its ester groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in creating cross-linked networks or tailored macromolecules. The ketone functionality provides a site for nucleophilic attack or reduction, enabling its use in pharmaceutical synthons or agrochemical intermediates. Due to its hydrophobic character and defined molecular structure, it is also explored in surfactant design and as a building block in dendrimer synthesis.
