Used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and coatings. Its polar nature and stability make it suitable for use in electroplating baths and as a coupling agent in dye formulations. Also found in some personal care products due to its moisturizing and solubilizing properties. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where ether and amine functionalities are required.
