Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for creating biologically active compounds, including potential antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. The bromine substituent allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals and agrochemicals where sulfonamide moieties are required.
