Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and agrochemicals. Its sulfonamide group and fluorinated aromatic structure make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators, especially in research targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the design of novel fluorinated compounds to improve lipophilicity and bioavailability in drug candidates.
