Used primarily as a solvent in organic synthesis and fragrance formulations due to its mild, ether-like odor and good solvency properties. It is effective in dissolving a variety of organic compounds and is often employed in the production of flavors and perfumes where a low volatility and pleasant odor profile are desired. Its stability under mild reaction conditions makes it suitable as a reaction medium in certain etherification and condensation processes. Additionally, it finds use as a masking agent or diluent in consumer products such as cosmetics and household sprays.
