Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure is valuable in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic effects, particularly in the creation of drugs targeting neurological disorders and anti-inflammatory conditions. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for producing complex molecules in agrochemical research, aiding in the development of new pesticides and herbicides. Its sulfonyl group enhances reactivity, making it useful in cross-coupling reactions for constructing diverse chemical frameworks.
