Used primarily as a fluorinated solvent in organic synthesis, especially in reactions involving sensitive intermediates where stability and inertness are required. Its unique structure allows for good solubility of both polar and nonpolar compounds, making it useful in multi-phase reactions. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing for fluorination processes and as a specialty cleaning agent in electronic component fabrication due to its low surface tension and non-conductive properties. Also finds use as a carrier fluid in some analytical techniques requiring volatile, non-reactive solvents.
