Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. Its structure allows for selective binding to specific biomolecules, making it useful in imaging and detection assays. Also employed in the development of sensors for metal ions, particularly in environmental monitoring. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where the oxazole-thione moiety contributes to bioactivity. Shows potential in materials science for designing optoelectronic devices because of its conjugated system and stability.
