Used as a key reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in 3,3,3-trifluoropropylation reactions. It serves as a source of the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl (CF₃CH₂CH₂-) group, enabling the introduction of fluorinated alkyl moieties into pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. Its stability and reactivity under mild conditions make it suitable for late-stage functionalization in drug development. Commonly applied in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, such as copper-catalyzed couplings with aryl halides, and radical processes to enhance metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and other physicochemical properties of target molecules.
