Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavor compounds due to its aromatic-modifying properties. Its thiol functional group allows it to participate in coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of complex organic molecules for perfumery. Also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals where sulfur-containing aromatic structures are required. Shows potential in agrochemical synthesis as a building block for certain pesticides and plant growth regulators. Its methoxy-substituted aromatic ring enhances electron density, improving reactivity in electrophilic substitution processes.
