Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its phenolic structure and aromatic character. Its substituted alkyl groups contribute to enhanced lipophilicity, making it suitable for incorporation into perfumery compounds where persistence and scent modulation are desired. Also investigated for use in agrochemical formulations as a stabilizer or synergist. Limited solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents facilitates its use in industrial solvent-based systems.
