Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of conjugated materials for optoelectronic applications. Its extended aromatic structure and presence of bromine make it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex polyaromatic systems. It finds application in the research of organic semiconductors, light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and molecular electronics due to its ability to facilitate electron delocalization and structural tuning. Additionally, it may serve as a building block in the synthesis of ligands for catalytic metal complexes.
