Used as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of liquid crystal materials and advanced polymers. Its symmetrical methoxy-substituted biphenyl structure enhances thermal stability and electron-donating properties, making it valuable in the design of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Also employed in the synthesis of ligands for catalytic reactions and in pharmaceutical research where biphenyl scaffolds are required. Its solubility in common organic solvents facilitates use in solution-phase reactions and thin-film processing.
