Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized polymers and dendrimers. Its multiple bromomethyl groups allow for efficient cross-linking and derivatization, making it valuable in the development of porous organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). It is also employed in the synthesis of ligands and catalysts due to its symmetrical structure and reactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceutical research for constructing complex molecular architectures through nucleophilic substitution reactions.
