Used as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in trifluoromethylation reactions. It serves as a source of the CF3 radical, enabling the introduction of trifluoromethyl groups into various organic molecules, which is valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development due to the enhanced metabolic stability and lipophilicity imparted by CF3 groups. Commonly employed in radical-mediated transformations under mild conditions, often in combination with oxidants or photocatalysts. Also utilized in metal-catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated arenes, heterocycles, and alkenes. Its stability and ease of handling make it a preferred choice in both academic and industrial settings for late-stage functionalization.
