Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and liquid crystal materials. Its branched alkoxy chain enhances solubility in organic solvents, making it suitable for solution-processed electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The benzamide core provides structural rigidity and facilitates intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which can improve thin-film morphology and charge carrier mobility. Also explored in supramolecular chemistry for designing self-assembled structures due to its ability to form ordered networks through non-covalent interactions.
