Dicobalt octacarbonyl is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of high-efficiency herbicide glyphosate (commonly known as "Roundup"), anti-tumor reagent N-((5-bromothiophen-2-yl) sulfonyl)-2,4-dichlorobenzamide, hydroxycitronellol, pineapple ester, functional oligosaccharide stachyose intermediates. It is also the raw material for the synthesis of critical semiconductor precursors dicarbonyl cyclopentadienyl cobalt [CpCo(CO)2] and (3,3-dimethyl-1-butynyl)dicobalt hexacarbonyl [CCTBA].
