Application

This fluorinated alcohol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers where enhanced stability or lipophilicity is desired. It is particularly useful as a solvent for highly reactive systems due to its chemical inertness and ability to stabilize carbocations. Researchers also employ it as a ligand modifier in transition metal catalysis to fine-tune reaction selectivity.
