Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Serves as a building block in the development of functional organic compounds, especially in the design of conjugated systems for electronic applications such as organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Its brominated structure allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of complex aromatic frameworks. Also investigated for use in ligands for catalysis and in the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic compounds with tailored electronic properties.
