Thiophene is a reactive compound that is used as an antimicrobial agent. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by reacting with thiol groups in proteins, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and causing cell death. Thiophene has also been shown to have antifungal activity in vitro, but not against Candida albicans. The mechanism for this inhibition is unknown, but may be due to its ability to bind to thiol groups or react with thiols in the cell membrane. Thiophene is chemically stable and does not degrade easily, which means it can be used as an active ingredient in medicines that require stability over time.

Thiophene is an important building block in dyes, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals synthesis. It is involved in the chloroalkylation reactions in 2,5-positions. It is also used to prepare butane by reduction with raney nickel, 2-vinylthiophene, dithienyl, and 2-halo thiophenes by reacting with halogens.
