Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its fluorine-rich structure enhances chemical stability and bioavailability, making it effective in agrochemical formulations targeting broadleaf weeds. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals where resistance to degradation is required, such as in certain pharmaceutical intermediates and functional materials. The compound's unique electronic properties due to multiple fluorine atoms make it valuable in research for designing new bioactive molecules.
