Used in organic synthesis as a building block for cross-coupling reactions, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to construct biaryl frameworks found in pharmaceuticals and organic electronic materials. Its dibenzothienyl group enhances electron delocalization, making it valuable in the development of materials for OLEDs and other optoelectronic devices. Also employed in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and ligands for sensors due to its stability and reactivity profile.
