Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate in the development of pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for sulfonamide-based compounds, which are common in drug design due to their biological activity and stability. Its structure allows for functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs and derivatives. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing active ingredients with targeted reactivity. Its compact ring system enhances metabolic stability in candidate molecules, improving pharmacokinetic properties.
