Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a building block in the preparation of complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Stille couplings, where the bromo and iodo groups allow selective functionalization. Its aromatic structure with differentiated halogens enables stepwise modification, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients for crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. Also utilized in research for synthesizing conjugated materials and functionalized aromatic systems for electronic or optical applications.
