Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic compounds for organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its brominated structure allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent dyes. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic scaffolds with potential biological activity, including antimicrobials, anticancer agents, and applications in biological diagnostics and cell imaging.
