Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its sulfonyl and bromo functional groups allow for further transformations, such as cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of sulfonamide-based bioactive molecules due to the stability and reactivity of the sulfonyl moiety. Also utilized in materials science for designing functionalized aromatic systems with specific electronic properties.
