Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its conjugated allene-ketone structure makes it valuable in cycloaddition and nucleophilic addition reactions, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic frameworks. Commonly employed in research settings to develop bioactive molecules, including potential antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes and specialty materials due to its unique electronic properties.
