Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its quinone structure, which supports redox reactions and color development. Employed in research for developing biologically active compounds, including potential antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer agents. It shows potential in inhibiting certain enzymes involved in inflammation and chronic diseases. Acts as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring electron-deficient aromatic systems. Also utilized in electrochemical studies to investigate quinone electron transfer properties, relevant to cellular biochemical systems, and as a precursor in the preparation of functional materials for sensors and catalysts.
