Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where the bromine atom allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Its structure supports the creation of more complex bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where sulfonamide derivatives are required.
