1. Functions as a key intermediate in the manufacture of prostaglandin active pharmaceutical ingredients.
2. Serves as a precursor to phosphonium ylides for stereoselective Wittig alkene synthesis.
3. Acts as a mitochondrial targeting agent for delivering pro-apoptotic peptides to tumor cells.
4. Used in bioconjugation and the synthesis of ring skeletons via ring-closing metathesis.
