Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is effective in introducing methoxyethoxyethyl groups into molecules, enhancing solubility and bioavailability of active compounds. Commonly employed in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, and functional polymers due to its ability to bridge polar and non-polar segments. Also utilized in the production of specialty solvents and as a modifier in coating formulations to improve flow and adhesion properties.
