Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its structure supports the construction of complex molecules where a bromine-functionalized aromatic system is needed for coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for creating biaryl ethers with potential biological activity. Also utilized in the preparation of liquid crystals and functional materials due to its stable aromatic and ether linkage.
