Used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and intermediates for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Applied in the production of personal care products, such as skin creams, lotions, and hair care formulations, due to its moisturizing, gentle exfoliating, and skin-brightening properties, helping to reduce dark spots and age spots.

Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules in research and industrial applications.
