Used as a building block in the synthesis of specialty polymers and bio-based materials, particularly in the development of polyamides and polyesters with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Its rigid furan ring contributes to improved material stability and resistance to degradation. Employed in research for sustainable chemistry applications, serving as a renewable alternative to petroleum-derived aromatic diamides. Also explored in pharmaceutical intermediates for heterocyclic compound design due to its reactive amide groups and aromatic character. Shows potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and functional materials.
