Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylurea herbicides, particularly in the production of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, a selective post-emergence herbicide effective against broadleaf weeds and grasses in rice crops. Its structure allows for efficient coupling reactions in agrochemical synthesis, contributing to high herbicidal activity at low application rates. Also investigated for use in developing new sulfonamide-based bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial properties.
