Used primarily as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of specialty resins and polymers. It is valued in the formulation of high-performance epoxy systems due to its ability to act as a crosslinking agent, enhancing thermal stability and mechanical strength. Commonly found in composites for aerospace and electronics, where resistance to heat and chemicals is critical. Also utilized in the synthesis of certain agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals as a building block for complex cyclic structures. Its rigid bicyclic framework contributes to the development of materials with low dielectric constants and improved durability.
