Used as a solvent in organic synthesis, especially in peptide coupling and polymer chemistry due to its ability to stabilize intermediates and enhance reaction rates.

Commonly employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing for the synthesis of active ingredients because of its high solvating power and stability under various reaction conditions.

Acts as a denaturant in protein studies, helping to unfold proteins for structural analysis in techniques like NMR and circular dichroism.

Serves as a building block in the production of agrochemicals and specialty fluorinated compounds, where the trifluoromethyl group imparts desirable metabolic and electronic properties.

Utilized in electrochemical applications as an electrolyte additive to improve stability and performance in certain battery systems.

Found in some cleaning formulations for precision instruments due to its volatility, low toxicity compared to other fluorinated solvents, and effectiveness in removing polar and non-polar residues.
