Used as a strong base in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It facilitates reactions such as esterifications, condensations, and deprotonations due to its high basicity and nucleophilicity. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where anhydrous basic conditions are required. Also utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dyes. Its solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for reactions in non-aqueous environments.
