Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its fluorinated structure enhances reactivity and selectivity in coupling reactions, making it valuable in the production of active ingredients for crop protection. It is also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals where high thermal and metabolic stability is required. Due to the presence of multiple fluorine atoms and a reactive chlorine site, it allows for sequential functionalization, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in advanced organic synthesis.
