Used as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized silanes for silicone polymers. Its vinyl and ester groups enable cross-coupling reactions and palladium-catalyzed transformations, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The trimethylsilyl group acts as a protecting group or steric modulator, influencing reactivity and selectivity in multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of specialty monomers for advanced materials and in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where silicon-containing moieties enhance metabolic stability.
