Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, particularly in the development of liquid crystal compounds and organic semiconductors. Its rigid biphenyl core and methoxy substituents enhance electron-donating properties, making it valuable in optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic cells. Also employed in the preparation of ligands for catalytic reactions, especially in asymmetric synthesis where steric and electronic tuning is critical. Its structural stability and solubility profile support use in high-performance polymers and specialty resins.
