Used primarily as a building block in organic synthesis, especially in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its vinyl group and fluorine substituents make it suitable for cross-coupling reactions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, enabling the construction of complex fluorinated molecules. Fluorinated compounds often exhibit enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability, making this compound valuable in drug development. It is also employed in the synthesis of liquid crystals and functional polymers, where the fluorine atoms influence electronic properties and thermal stability. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the preparation of specialty monomers for advanced materials.
