Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its multiple bromine atoms allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex aromatic molecules. Commonly employed in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and functionalized benzene derivatives used in materials science. Also utilized in the development of ligands for catalysts and in the production of brominated flame retardants. Its reactivity enables efficient derivatization for research in medicinal chemistry and electronic materials.
