Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive halogen groups and fluorinated moiety. The compound's structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability. It is also employed in the development of specialty materials where fluorine substitution improves performance, such as in certain liquid crystals or electronic materials. Its unique halogen and trifluoropropenyl arrangement supports research in novel pesticidal agents and functionalized aromatic systems.
