Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Its bromine functionality allows for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the development of conjugated polymers for organic electronics, including organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Also serves as a building block in the synthesis of liquid crystals and functionalized aromatic compounds used in research and industrial applications.
