Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated polymers and liquid crystalline materials. Its bifunctional bromo groups allow for efficient coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of electronic materials such as organic semiconductors and OLEDs. Also employed in the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds and supramolecular structures due to its rigid aromatic core and reactive terminal bromides. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where controlled molecular spacing is required.
