Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and organic electronic materials. Its structure supports conjugation and electron transport, making it valuable in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. Also employed in research for creating novel heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity, including kinase inhibitors and anti-cancer agents. Its bromine functionality allows for further modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling diverse chemical derivatization for drug discovery and material science.
