Application: 1,2-Dibromoethane can be used as a reagent to prepare:
•  Vinyl bromide and 1,2-disubstituted ethane derivatives.
•  Vinyl aromatic compounds by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with various arylboronic acids via in situ formation of vinyl bromide.
•  2-arylsulfonyl hydrazones by reacting with aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, sulfur dioxide and hydrazines.

It can also be used as a bromine source in organic synthesis to brominate carbanions.
