Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystals and organic semiconductors due to its aromatic structure and functional groups that support charge transport. Commonly employed in the preparation of advanced materials for optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs and thin-film transistors. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research as a building block for bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of compounds with anti-inflammatory or antitumor properties. Its tert-butyl ester group enhances solubility and stability during synthetic transformations, making it valuable in multi-step organic syntheses.
