Used primarily in research as a reactive allene in polymerization studies and organic synthesis. Its cumulative double bond structure makes it valuable for investigating cycloaddition reactions, including those involving allenes that can mimic aspects of Diels-Alder reactions, which are important in creating cyclic compounds for pharmaceuticals and materials science. Due to its instability and high reactivity, it is not widely used in industrial applications but serves as a model compound for understanding reaction mechanisms involving allenes and dienes.
