Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to modulate biological activity in target organisms. The compound’s sulfonamide group allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
