Used as a fluorinating reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of highly fluorinated aromatic compounds. Its reactivity allows for selective introduction of fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups into target molecules, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It serves as a building block in the development of specialty materials, including liquid crystals and functional polymers, where high thermal and chemical stability is required. Due to the presence of both bromine and pentafluorosulfur groups, it also participates in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures in medicinal chemistry.
