Used primarily as a fluorinated building block in organic synthesis, this compound enables the introduction of highly fluorinated alkyl chains into larger molecules. Its allyl group allows for further functionalization via reactions such as hydrosilylation, epoxidation, or radical addition, making it valuable in the development of specialty materials. It is employed in the production of fluorinated surfactants, surface modifiers, and polymers with enhanced hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. These materials find use in coatings, release agents, and protective treatments for textiles, electronics, and optical devices. Its unique combination of fluorination and reactive allyl functionality supports the design of high-performance chemicals with low surface energy and improved thermal and chemical stability.
