Used in research as a coumarin-based ester derivative with potential photochemical properties due to the conjugated tetraene chain linked to the coumarin core. Its structure allows for light absorption and energy transfer, making it suitable for studies in photobiology or as a model compound in the development of fluorescent probes. May also serve as an intermediate in synthetic pathways targeting bioactive molecules with anti-inflammatory or antioxidant activity. Limited commercial use; primarily applied in laboratory settings for mechanistic studies involving radical reactions or lipid peroxidation mimics.
