Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions for the construction of complex biphenyl-based structures. It serves in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials due to its ability to undergo selective functionalization at the bromine positions. The presence of bromine atoms enables palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, facilitating the formation of conjugated systems used in electronic materials and liquid crystals. Its sterically hindered tert-butyl groups enhance stability, solubility in organic solvents, and influence reactivity, making it valuable in designing molecules with specific spatial and electronic properties, including ligands for catalysts, conductive polymers, and luminescent materials.
