Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its fluorinated structure enhances bioavailability and metabolic stability in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of liquid crystals and optoelectronic materials due to its conjugated system and polarity. Also utilized in research for photochemical studies and as a building block in Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry for anticancer and antimicrobial compound development.
