Used in organic synthesis as a building block for cross-coupling reactions, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to introduce the 2,4,6-tribromophenyl group into complex molecules. Its multiple bromine atoms allow for selective and sequential functionalization, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials such as organic semiconductors and flame retardants. The boronic acid group enables easy attachment to aromatic systems, facilitating the construction of polybrominated structures with tailored properties.
