Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of macrocyclic compounds and ligands for metal coordination. Its dual bromomethyl groups enable cross-linking reactions, making it valuable in the development of polymers, dendrimers, and porous organic frameworks. Commonly employed in the synthesis of Schiff bases and other multifunctional molecules for catalysis and material science applications. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research for constructing complex molecular architectures through selective alkylation.
