Used as a chiral building block in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals where stereochemistry plays a critical role. Its sulfonamide group and fluorinated moiety enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators, especially in central nervous system agents and antiviral drugs. The compound’s structure supports conformational rigidity, improving pharmacokinetic properties in final drug candidates.
