Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with potential antimicrobial and anticancer activity. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its bromo functional group allows for further modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. Also employed in research settings to design and study new therapeutic agents targeting specific enzymes and receptors.
