Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to modulate biological activity in target organisms. The compound’s sulfonamide group allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
