Used as a solvent in organic synthesis processes, particularly in reactions requiring an anhydrous environment. Commonly used in research laboratories to facilitate efficient chemical reactions. It has moderate stability to heat and acid-base conditions, making it suitable for reaction systems requiring high temperature control. Additionally, it can be used as a medium in the production of complex compounds, such as pharmaceuticals or biomolecules, due to its good solubility of starting materials and lack of direct reactivity with other substances in many cases.
