Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its stable amide bond and fluorine content. Its fluorinated alkyl chain enhances lipophilicity, making it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules with improved membrane permeability. Also employed in the preparation of specialty surfactants and surface modifiers where resistance to thermal and chemical degradation is required. The compound’s structure allows for selective transformations, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in medicinal chemistry research.
