Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound serves in the production of specialty chemicals such as fragrances, flavoring agents, and agrochemicals. Its branched alkyl structure enhances stability and influences reactivity in alkylation processes. It may also function as a solvent or additive in industrial formulations where aromatic hydrocarbons are required. Due to its hydrophobic nature, it finds use in extraction processes or as a component in cleaning agents for specific industrial applications.
