1-Bromo-3-iodobenzene is used in the preparation of 3'-bromo-2,3,4,5,6-pentaethyl-biphenyl by reacting with hex-3-yne. It is also used to prepare 1-(3'-bromophenyl)-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodec-1-ene and 1-(3'-bromophenyl)-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooct-1-ene.
