Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of UV absorbers and photostabilizers for polymers, coatings, and cosmetic formulations. Its structure supports antioxidant properties and enhances light stability in organic materials. Commonly employed in the development of high-performance additives that protect against degradation caused by sunlight and environmental exposure. Also utilized in specialty resins and as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its functionalized aromatic framework.
