Used in organic synthesis as a source of perfluoro-tert-butyl radicals, enabling the introduction of highly fluorinated groups into target molecules. Its reactivity supports the development of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials with enhanced stability, lipophobicity, and thermal resistance. Also employed in materials science for surface modification of polymers, improving water and oil repellency. Acts as a reagent in radical perfluoroalkylation reactions under mild conditions, offering selectivity in complex molecule synthesis. Limited use in some electronic applications due to its inertness and dielectric properties.
