Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylurea herbicides, this compound plays a key role in agrochemical manufacturing. Its sulfamoyl group enables the formation of biologically active molecules that inhibit plant acetolactate synthase (ALS), disrupting amino acid synthesis in weeds. It is particularly valuable in producing selective herbicides for rice and wheat crops. Additionally, it has been explored in medicinal chemistry for its potential in developing new sulfonamide-based bioactive agents.
