Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting neurological and metabolic disorders. Its structure supports the formation of sulfonamide-based drugs, which are known for their antimicrobial and enzyme-inhibiting properties. Also employed in research settings to modify peptide molecules, enhancing stability and bioavailability. Additionally, it serves in the preparation of buffering agents and zwitterionic surfactants used in biochemical and analytical applications.
