Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound serves in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active molecules. Its strained cyclopropyl ring enhances reactivity in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in drug development. The sulfonamide group allows for hydrogen bonding and improved solubility, which can enhance pharmacokinetic properties in final drug compounds. It is also employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals and functional materials where controlled molecular geometry is important.
