Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules, including potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. The bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals and functional materials where sulfonamide groups enhance solubility or binding properties.
