Dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-3-amine can be used for the synthesis of the isomeric indobenzo[b]thiophene via the Fischer reaction. It can also be used to prepare organic electroluminescent element materials.

The dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-3-amine molecule was synthesized using a three step process starting with the reaction of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1) with aniline (2). This was followed by oxidation with sodium dichromate (NaCrO), which resulted in the formation of dibenzothiophene (3). Finally, this compound was reacted with ammonia to produce the desired product
