Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive halogen sites. The compound serves in the preparation of heterocyclic systems for drug discovery, particularly in forming quinoxaline-based derivatives with biological activity. It is also employed in materials science for the development of organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes, where the bromine atoms allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Its aromatic structure and electron-deficient nature make it suitable for use in electronic materials and sensors.
