Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for introducing fluorinated and brominated aromatic sulfonamide motifs, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved efficacy. Its halogen substituents allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of complex organic molecules.
