Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of polycyclic aromatic compounds and heterocyclic frameworks. Its bromine functionality allows for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann couplings, enabling the construction of complex dioxane-containing structures. These structures are of interest in materials science, especially in the development of organic semiconductors and luminescent compounds. Also explored in the synthesis of ligands for catalytic systems and in pharmaceutical research where dibenzodioxine scaffolds show potential biological activity.
