Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. Its isocyanate group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable for constructing urea and urethane linkages in active ingredients. It also serves in the development of specialty polymers and crop protection agents where fluorinated moieties enhance bioavailability and metabolic stability. Due to its reactivity, it is handled under controlled conditions in industrial settings.
