Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of specialty esters and polymer additives. It serves as a cross-linking agent in certain resin systems, enhancing thermal stability and mechanical strength. Also employed in the formulation of UV-curable coatings due to its reactivity under radical initiation. Its allyl groups enable participation in thiol-ene and other click chemistry reactions, making it useful in developing functional polymers and coatings with tailored surface properties.
