Used as a specialty intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Employed in the development of novel surfactants and polymers with improved thermal and chemical resistance. Also investigated for use in lithium-ion battery electrolytes as a stabilizing additive due to its ability to form protective solid-electrolyte interphases. Its unique structure supports research in peptide mimetics and enzyme inhibition, offering potential in medicinal chemistry for designing targeted therapies.
