Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the preparation of complex aromatic and conjugated systems. Its boronic acid functionality reacts with aryl or vinyl halides in the presence of a palladium catalyst, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials such as organic semiconductors. The presence of the dibenzothiophene core contributes to electronic properties useful in optoelectronic applications, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs).
