Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes that exhibit good light and thermal stability. It is also employed in the development of functional organic materials, including photochromic and electroactive compounds. Its aniline and oxazole moieties make it suitable for use in pharmaceutical research, especially in the design of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of advanced materials for optoelectronic devices due to its electron-transport properties and structural rigidity.
