Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its highly fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity in bioactive molecules, making it valuable in drug design, especially for central nervous system agents and enzyme inhibitors. It also serves in the development of specialty materials, including fluorinated ligands for catalysis and functional polymers with improved thermal and oxidative resistance. The compound’s reactivity allows for peptide coupling and heterocycle formation, enabling its use in combinatorial chemistry and medicinal chemistry research.
