Widely used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly in radical reactions where it effectively donates hydrogen atoms to stabilize radicals. It is valuable in the reduction of halides, selenides, and other functional groups, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. In polymer chemistry, it serves as a chain transfer agent, controlling molecular weight during polymerization processes. Additionally, it is employed in the preparation of silicon-containing materials and as a reagent in the synthesis of organosilicon compounds. Its stability and efficiency make it a preferred choice in various chemical transformations.
