Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pheromones for agricultural pest control. It is particularly effective in the production of insect attractants and mating disruptors due to its structural similarity to natural terpene-based signaling compounds. Commonly applied in formulations for monitoring and managing populations of lepidopteran pests in orchards and crops. Its volatility and stability make it suitable for use in slow-release dispensers and traps. Also explored in fragrance chemistry for its subtle green, floral notes in perfumery applications.
