Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized naphthalene derivatives for optoelectronic materials. It serves in the construction of conjugated systems for organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes. The bromine groups allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the assembly of complex aromatic structures. The methoxymethoxy group acts as a protecting group for phenolic hydroxyls, making it valuable in multi-step synthesis where selective deprotection is required. Commonly applied in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and sensors.
