Used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Ullmann reactions, to construct complex aromatic systems for materials science and pharmaceutical research. Serves as an intermediate in the development of organic semiconductors, OLEDs, and other electronic materials due to the electron-transport properties of the dibenzothiophene core. The bromine atom acts as a reactive site for further functionalization, enabling the introduction of various substituents. Also explored in the synthesis of ligands for catalysis and in the preparation of polycyclic aromatic compounds with potential optoelectronic applications.
