Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its ester groups allow for easy modification in multi-step reactions, making it valuable in creating complex molecules for perfumery. It is also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its ability to introduce branched alkyl chains into target compounds. The compound’s structure supports controlled carbon chain elongation, useful in building active ingredients requiring specific steric and electronic properties.
