Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated materials for optoelectronic devices. Its acrylamide functionality allows it to participate in radical polymerization, enabling the formation of functional polymers. The iodine substituent facilitates further structural modification via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, making it valuable in the development of organic semiconductors, sensors, and fluorescent probes. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for synthesizing bioactive molecules where extended π-conjugation and halogen bonding are required for activity.
