Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports use in the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of a stable sulfonamide group. Commonly employed in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds where ring systems with nitrogen and sulfur are required. Also utilized in research settings for building blocks in medicinal chemistry, especially in the design of enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Shows potential in the development of new materials due to its rigid aromatic framework and polar functional groups.
