Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for strong π-π interactions and intercalation with DNA, making it valuable in designing bioactive molecules. Also employed in organic electronics due to its electron-deficient quinoxaline core, which enhances charge transport properties in semiconductor materials. Commonly utilized in research settings for developing fluorescent probes and sensors owing to its stable luminescent characteristics when modified with specific functional groups.
