Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavor compounds. Its structure allows for easy modification in reactions, making it valuable in creating aromatic chemicals. It also serves as a building block in the synthesis of more complex ethers and resins. Additionally, it finds use in polymer chemistry as a monomer or cross-linking agent due to the reactive allyl group. Its volatility and odor make it suitable for certain niche applications in perfumery.
