Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic electronics, particularly in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated structure allows for efficient cross-coupling reactions, such as Stille or Suzuki coupling, enabling the construction of complex conjugated systems. The cyclohexyl group enhances solubility and influences molecular packing, which can improve thin-film morphology and charge carrier mobility in semiconductor devices. Commonly employed in research settings to develop high-performance organic semiconducting materials.
