Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of conjugated polymers and small molecule semiconductors for organic electronics such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The bromothiophene moiety enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Stille coupling, allowing the construction of complex π-conjugated systems. The ethylene glycol side chain improves solubility in polar solvents and can influence film morphology in thin-film devices. Also explored in the synthesis of bioactive molecules due to the thiophene scaffold’s prevalence in pharmaceuticals.
