Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique structure with multiple fluorine atoms and a reactive alkenyl ether group makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and lipophilicity. It is also employed in the preparation of advanced materials, including fluorinated polymers and electronic chemicals, where thermal stability and chemical resistance are critical. Additionally, it serves as a building block in research settings for creating novel fluorinated analogs in medicinal chemistry.
