Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients targeting pain and inflammation pathways. Also utilized in research settings for designing new central nervous system (CNS) modulators due to its amine functionality and aromatic sulfone group, which can influence blood-brain barrier permeability. Employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates.
