Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and organic electronic materials. Its structure supports conjugation and aromatic stacking, making it valuable in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. Also employed in research for creating novel kinase inhibitors due to its ability to mimic purine motifs in biological systems. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to build complex aromatic frameworks for drug discovery and material science.
