This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those used in anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of herbicides and pesticides, contributing to the creation of compounds that effectively control weed growth and pest infestations. Its sulfonyl and aniline functional groups make it a versatile building block in organic synthesis, enabling the creation of complex molecules with specific biological activities.
