Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized polymers and dendrimers. Its dual bromine functionality allows for sequential substitution reactions, enabling controlled chain extension or cross-linking in polymer chemistry. Commonly employed in the synthesis of liquid crystals and conjugated organic materials for electronic applications due to its ability to bridge aromatic and aliphatic segments. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research to construct complex molecular architectures through palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.
