Used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in polymerization reactions and the production of pharmaceuticals. It facilitates ring-opening reactions and is effective in the synthesis of fine chemicals due to its strong basicity and ability to act as a nucleophile. Commonly employed in the preparation of epoxy resins and as a curing agent, enhancing thermal and mechanical properties of the final polymer. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals and in research laboratories for building complex molecular structures.
