9,10-Dibromoanthracene(CAT: R058007) is a halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C₁₄H₈Br₂. It consists of an anthracene core substituted with bromine atoms at the 9 and 10 positions, forming a pale yellow crystalline solid. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for constructing π-conjugated systems, dyes, and photonic materials. The electron-withdrawing bromine atoms enhance its reactivity in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Heck reactions. 9,10-Dibromoanthracene also serves as a precursor for functionalized anthracenes in the development of organic semiconductors, OLEDs, and other advanced materials in materials science research.
