Used primarily in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds, this anhydride is valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries due to its ability to introduce highly fluorinated segments into molecules. These fluorinated groups can enhance metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and bioavailability of active ingredients. It is also employed in materials science for creating specialty polymers with improved thermal and chemical resistance. Its reactivity makes it useful for forming amide and ester derivatives under controlled conditions, enabling its use in peptide mimetics and functionalized coatings.
