Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its brominated naphthalene structure enhances reactivity and selectivity in coupling processes, making it valuable for constructing complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of functionalized polycyclic compounds for materials science, including organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive molecules with extended π-conjugation.
