Used as a deuterated compound in NMR spectroscopy for studying molecular structures and dynamics, providing enhanced resolution and sensitivity due to the presence of deuterium atoms. It serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of complex molecules for pharmaceutical research. Its bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it useful in the development of drugs, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The dimethoxy groups contribute to its stability and reactivity in various chemical transformations.
