Used as an ethylating agent in organic synthesis for the precise introduction of ethyl groups into drug molecules (e.g., local anesthetic synthesis). Possesses refrigerant properties suitable for low-temperature chemical processes. Also used as a solvent in flavor extraction and dye reaction systems. Transport requires toxic substance labeling; strict protection is required during handling.
