Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized naphthalene derivatives for optoelectronic materials. Its bulky tert-butyl groups enhance solubility and stability, making it suitable for use in the development of organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes. The bromine atom allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems for use in advanced material science and pharmaceutical research.
