Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its ester structure and allyl group make it valuable in constructing more complex molecules through reactions like hydrogenation, oxidation, or transesterification. Commonly employed in the development of perfumes due to its ability to modify scent profiles and enhance volatility of aromatic compounds. Also finds use in research settings for synthesizing cyclohexyloxy-containing compounds with potential biological activity.
