Used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It facilitates ring-forming reactions and acts as a base in deprotonation steps. Commonly employed in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients due to its ability to enhance reaction rates and selectivity. Also utilized as a solvent or intermediate in agrochemicals and specialty chemicals. Its volatility and basicity make it suitable for use in extraction processes and as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry.
