Used primarily as a specialized intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the construction of complex molecules requiring sterically hindered alkenes. Its silyl-protected aldehyde functionality allows for selective transformations in multi-step syntheses, especially in the development of conjugated systems for materials science applications. The compound is valuable in forming silicon-containing polymers and in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where steric bulk influences reactivity or stability. It also serves as a building block in cross-coupling reactions and in the preparation of functionalized vinyl compounds used in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials.
