Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structural features enable it to participate in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex sulfonamide-based molecules. It has been employed in research targeting kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents due to the presence of halogen and heterocyclic moieties that enhance binding affinity and metabolic stability. Additionally, its application extends to labeling and probe development in biochemical assays owing to its distinct fluorinated and substituted aromatic framework.
