Used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating reactions between reagents in different phases by transferring ions into organic solvents. Commonly applied in fluorination reactions and nucleophilic substitutions due to its ability to enhance reactivity and selectivity. Also utilized in electrochemistry as a supporting electrolyte in non-aqueous systems, improving conductivity and stability. Its fluorinated structure provides high thermal and chemical stability, making it suitable for harsh reaction conditions. Additionally, employed in analytical chemistry for ion-pairing applications and in the preparation of fluorous biphasic systems for easy product separation.
