Used as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, particularly in the production of liquid crystals and specialty polymers. Its bulky aromatic structure with isopropyl groups enhances thermal stability and solubility, making it suitable for optoelectronic applications. Also employed in research for developing novel catalysts and ligands in asymmetric synthesis. Due to its hydrophobic nature, it finds use in formulations requiring low polarity and high resistance to oxidation.
