Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal materials for display technologies. Its molecular structure supports mesogenic properties, making it valuable in the formulation of mixtures for liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It contributes to improving the temperature range and stability of the liquid crystalline phase. Also employed in the development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials due to its electron-withdrawing nitrile group and good thermal stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of functionalized aromatic compounds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
