Used as a fluorinating reagent in organic synthesis, particularly for the introduction of fluorine atoms into complex molecules. Its reactivity allows selective fluorination under mild conditions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries where fluorinated compounds often exhibit enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs of biologically active molecules. Also utilized in the development of new materials requiring fluorinated building blocks, such as specialty polymers or liquid crystals. Shows utility in radiochemistry for preparing 18F-labeled compounds in positron emission tomography (PET) tracer development due to its efficient fluorine transfer capability.
