Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its sulfamoyl group and reactive chloride functionality make it valuable in constructing sulfonamide-based molecules, which are common in drugs targeting enzymes like carbonic anhydrases. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target molecules. The cyclopropyl group contributes to improved lipophilicity and resistance to oxidative degradation, making derivatives useful in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties.
