Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound serves in the preparation of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic structures. It is also employed in the development of receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors due to the sulfonamide group's ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and enhance biological activity. Additionally, it finds use in medicinal chemistry research for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
