Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance organic semiconductors, particularly in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated carbazole core enables efficient functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, allowing the construction of complex conjugated systems. The presence of the 2-ethylhexyloxy phenyl group enhances solubility and film-forming properties, making it suitable for solution-processed electronic devices. It is especially valued in the development of host materials for blue phosphorescent OLEDs due to its high triplet energy and good thermal stability.
