Used in organic electronics as a building block for synthesizing functional materials due to its extended π-conjugated structure. Serves as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Employed in research for developing novel kinase inhibitors and anticancer agents. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies. Also explored in photophysical studies for potential use in fluorescent probes and optoelectronic devices.
