Application
This compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal materials for display technologies, where its cyclohexyl-benzene core contributes to optimal birefringence and thermal stability. Researchers employ it as a building block for advanced organic semiconductors and photonic materials due to its conjugated π-system with controlled steric hindrance. The pentyl chain length makes it particularly valuable for studying structure-property relationships in calamitic mesogens.
