Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and optoelectronic materials. Its bromonaphthalene core allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of organic semiconductors and luminescent compounds. Also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals where naphthalene derivatives exhibit biological activity. The acetamide group enhances solubility and stability during reaction processes, facilitating its use in multi-step synthetic routes.
