Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions for the construction of complex aromatic systems. Its bromine substituents allow for selective functionalization via palladium-catalyzed reactions such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, making it valuable in the development of advanced materials, including organic semiconductors and liquid crystals. It also serves as a building block in the synthesis of ligands for catalysis and in the preparation of conjugated polymers used in electronic devices.
