Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of liquid crystals and optoelectronic materials. Its brominated aromatic structure makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex conjugated systems. Commonly employed in the development of organic semiconductors, fluorescent dyes, and photovoltaic materials due to its extended pi-conjugation and thermal stability. Also utilized in research for synthesizing discotic liquid crystals with potential applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
