Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules by serving as a building block in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in research settings for designing inhibitors targeting specific enzymes or receptors. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to the presence of halogen and trifluoromethyl groups that enhance biological activity.
