Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals. Exhibits potential in antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent research due to its structural similarity to known therapeutic agents. Also employed in the design of enzyme inhibitors, especially in studies targeting carbonic anhydrase and other metalloenzymes. Its aromatic and amide functionalities make it suitable for use in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
