Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents due to the presence of both electron-withdrawing nitro and bromo substituents, which enhance reactivity in cross-coupling reactions. Also employed in the synthesis of protease inhibitors and other enzyme-targeted molecules. Its stability and reactivity make it valuable in medicinal chemistry research for structure-activity relationship studies.
