Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of sulfonyl chloride functional groups into complex molecules, facilitating the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. Particularly valuable in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active sulfonamide derivatives. The presence of bromo and fluoro substituents enhances its utility in cross-coupling reactions, enabling further functionalization through palladium-catalyzed processes. Commonly employed in research and development settings for designing novel therapeutic agents.
