Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for creating sulfonamide-based drugs, which are known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and enzyme inhibitory properties. Its structural features, including the bromo and fluoro substituents, allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the design of novel therapeutic candidates. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
