Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its rigid aromatic structure makes it suitable for designing ligands in catalysis, especially in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Also employed in the preparation of functional materials, including optoelectronic compounds and liquid crystals, due to its thermal stability and π-conjugated framework. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and central nervous system disorders.
