Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of sulfa drugs with antimicrobial properties. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the presence of both sulfonamide and aromatic methoxy groups, enabling functional modifications. Employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments for enhanced solubility and stability. Also utilized in research for designing enzyme inhibitors, especially in studies targeting carbonic anhydrase and other sulfonamide-sensitive enzymes. Its derivatives are explored in agrochemicals for crop protection agents.
