Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of halogen and nitro functional groups. Its structure allows for further substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in research for designing new antimicrobial, antifungal, or anticancer agents. Also utilized in the production of organic semiconductors and electronic materials owing to the thiophene backbone’s electron-conducting properties.
