Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the development of sulfonamide-based compounds, which exhibit biological activity such as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Also employed in the synthesis of ligands for catalytic reactions and in the formation of heterocyclic compounds through cyclization processes. Its sulfonyl group enhances reactivity and stability in various transformation reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and materials science.
