Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization via click chemistry due to the presence of the 1,2,3-triazole ring, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting enzyme inhibition, especially carbonic anhydrase inhibitors with potential applications in cancer and glaucoma therapy. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
