Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes and optical brighteners due to its aromatic structure and reactive amino and ester groups. Its derivatives are employed in the production of high-performance polymers and specialty coatings that require UV resistance and thermal stability. Also investigated for use in pharmaceutical research as a building block for bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of compounds with potential anticonvulsant or anti-inflammatory activity. The compound's solubility and functional group compatibility make it suitable for use in solution-phase organic synthesis and combinatorial chemistry. Furthermore, its modifiable structure enables applications in luminescent materials with light absorption and emission properties, offering potential in organic electronic devices such as LEDs and chemical sensors.
