Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules that target specific signaling pathways in tumor cells. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the presence of both ester and sulfonyl functional groups, which enhance binding affinity and solubility. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental safety.
