2-Bromo-3-octylthiophene(CAT: M095661) is a halogenated thiophene derivative widely used as a building block in organic synthesis and materials science. The bromine substituent at the 2-position facilitates cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Kumada couplings, enabling the construction of extended π-conjugated systems. Its octyl side chain imparts solubility and processability, making it highly valuable in the design of organic semiconductors, conductive polymers, and photovoltaic materials. Researchers employ this compound in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and solar cell devices, where fine-tuned electronic and structural properties are critical for performance optimization.
