Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized polymers and specialty chemicals. Its terminal alkene group allows for polymerization or grafting reactions, while the chlorine atom can undergo nucleophilic substitution to introduce various functional groups. Commonly employed in the development of surfactants, lubricants, and modifiers for polymeric materials. Also utilized in research for synthesizing long-chain bifunctional compounds and in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals where a spacer with specific reactivity is required.
