Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal materials, particularly in the production of advanced display technologies. Its long alkoxy chain and aromatic amine structure enable mesogenic behavior, making it suitable for thermotropic liquid crystal formulations. Also employed in the development of specialty polymers and electro-optic devices due to its ability to promote molecular self-assembly and alignment. Additionally, finds use in research for creating surfactants and corrosion inhibitors with tailored surface activity.
