Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Serves as a building block in the development of antimalarial and anticancer agents due to its quinoline core, which is known for pharmacological activity. Also applied in materials science for designing fluorescent dyes and optoelectronic materials, leveraging its conjugated aromatic structure for light-emitting properties. Shows potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes with catalytic or sensor applications.
