Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its floral, fruity, or green aromatic notes. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions. Also found in flavor compositions for food additives, contributing to complex scent profiles in consumer goods. Its stability and moderate volatility make it suitable for use in soaps, detergents, and fine fragrances.
