Used as a key reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in radical reactions. It serves as a source of 4,4-difluorocyclohexyl radicals, enabling the introduction of the 4,4-difluorocyclohexyl group into complex molecules. This is valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research, where fluorinated substituents improve metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and bioavailability of active compounds. Its ability to participate in mild, selective reactions makes it suitable for late-stage functionalization of sensitive substrates. Also employed in materials science for designing fluorinated polymers with enhanced thermal and chemical resistance.
