Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a building block for more complex furan derivatives due to the reactivity of the bromine atoms, which can undergo cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds, including antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer agents. Also utilized in materials science for the synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors where furan-based structures enhance electronic properties.
