It is a benzofuran derivative. It undergoes palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with 4-iodoanisole and diphenyliodonium triflate under different reaction conditions to form the corresponding biaryl.It may be used in the preparation of 3-methyl-N-phenylbenzofuran-2-carboxamide by reacting with aniline.
