Used primarily as a solvent in organic synthesis, especially in the pharmaceutical industry due to its high stability and low reactivity. It is effective in fluorination reactions and works well with strong bases and electrophilic fluorinating agents. Additionally, it is widely used as a precision cleaning solvent in the electronics and semiconductor industries, thanks to its non-flammable nature, low toxicity, and ability to evaporate cleanly without leaving residues. Also employed in some cases as a reaction medium for low-temperature lithiation reactions. Its unique solvation properties support high selectivity and yield in complex molecule synthesis.
