Used primarily as a fluorinating agent in organic synthesis, it facilitates the introduction of fluorine atoms into various organic compounds, enhancing their chemical properties. It is also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals where fluorinated intermediates are required. Additionally, it serves as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions, improving efficiency and selectivity. Its application extends to the electronics industry, where it is used in the production of semiconductors and other electronic components that benefit from fluorinated materials.
