Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a building block in the production of complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, where the bromine atom facilitates bond formation with aromatic systems. Its dibenzofuran core structure is valuable in developing compounds with specific electronic or biological properties. Also explored in the synthesis of functional materials, including organic semiconductors and ligands for catalysts. Due to its halogenated aromatic nature, it enables selective derivatization for research in medicinal chemistry and material science.
