Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and functional materials. Serves as an intermediate in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and optoelectronic materials due to the anthracene core’s strong photophysical properties. Employed in the development of sensors and probes for detecting biological and environmental analytes. Also utilized in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and small molecules for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive compounds.
