Used in organic synthesis as a key building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the development of complex polycyclic aromatic compounds. Its fused aromatic structure makes it valuable in the preparation of organic semiconductors, fluorescent dyes, and materials for optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs and organic field-effect transistors. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules with extended π-systems.
