Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports activity against certain pathogenic strains by interfering with cellular processes in microorganisms. Also investigated for use in agrochemicals due to its potential as a bioactive scaffold in crop protection products. Shows promise in materials science for developing fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials owing to its electron-transport properties and stable aromatic framework.
