Used in the synthesis of fragrance compounds and perfumery additives due to its stable phenolic structure and aromatic character. Its derivatives are found in musk-like scent formulations, offering long-lasting olfactory properties. Also serves as an intermediate in producing antioxidants and stabilizers for polymers and organic materials, where the methoxy and phenolic groups contribute to radical scavenging activity. Additionally, it has been explored in the development of UV-absorbing compounds for cosmetic and coating applications.
