Used primarily in research as an intermediate in the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic compounds, 6-Bromochrysene serves as a building block in organic electronics and optoelectronic materials. Its bromine functionality allows for coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. It is also employed in the study of carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons to understand metabolic activation and DNA adduct formation. Due to its fluorescent properties, it has potential use in developing sensors and luminescent materials. Handling requires caution due to suspected mutagenicity and environmental toxicity.
