Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, it plays a crucial role in producing colorants for textiles, inks, and plastics. Its structure allows it to act as a building block for creating complex dye molecules with specific color properties. Additionally, it finds application in organic electronics, where it contributes to the development of materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. Its aromatic nature and stability make it suitable for research in advanced materials and chemical synthesis.
