Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the trifluoropropyl group enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Employed in agrochemicals to improve the efficacy and environmental stability of pesticides and herbicides. Serves as a building block in the production of specialty silicones, contributing to improved thermal and chemical resistance in coatings, sealants, and elastomers. Also utilized in the creation of novel functional materials and surfactants with unique surface activity due to the strong electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group.
