Used as a monomer in polymer synthesis, particularly in the production of specialty resins and copolymers with unique thermal and chemical resistance properties. It serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, and elastomers. Its reactivity allows for incorporation into UV-curable systems, making it useful in printing inks and protective coatings. Also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its versatile functional group reactivity.
