Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of sulfonamide-based drugs, which may exhibit anticonvulsant or neuroprotective properties. Also employed in the development of novel enzyme inhibitors due to the sulfonamide group’s ability to interact with active sites in various enzymes. Its structure allows for modification to enhance binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug design.
