Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, particularly in the development of high-performance polymers and electronic materials. Its halogenated structure makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic frameworks. It finds application in the research and production of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and pharmaceuticals where dibenzofuran derivatives are key structural motifs. Due to its reactivity and stability, it is also employed in the design of functional materials for optoelectronic devices.
