Used primarily as a building block in organic synthesis, especially in the development of advanced materials and pharmaceuticals. Its multiple bromine and fluorine substituents make it valuable for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of liquid crystals, organic semiconductors, and fluorinated functional materials where precise electronic properties are required. Also finds use in research for creating novel ligands and in the synthesis of specialty polymers with enhanced thermal and chemical stability.
