Application
Flurothyl is primarily used in neuroscience research as a potent convulsant agent for studying seizure mechanisms and anticonvulsant drug efficacy. It has also been investigated for its anesthetic properties, though its clinical use is limited due to its strong convulsive effects. Additionally, Flurothyl serves as a fluorinated building block in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of trifluoroethyl groups into target molecules. Its volatility and reactivity make it suitable for specialized laboratory applications under controlled conditions.
