Used in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its highly fluorinated structure, which enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its rigid adamantane core combined with strong electron-withdrawing fluorinated groups makes it valuable in designing enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for developing drugs with improved membrane permeability and binding affinity. Also explored in materials science for creating specialty polymers with unique thermal and chemical resistance properties.
