This chemical is primarily utilized in the synthesis of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), which are widely used in polymers to prevent degradation caused by UV radiation. It acts as an intermediate in the production of these stabilizers, enhancing the durability and lifespan of plastics, coatings, and other materials exposed to sunlight. Additionally, it finds application in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of complex molecules for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its role in stabilizing materials makes it valuable in industries focused on improving the performance and longevity of products subjected to environmental stressors.
