Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals. Exhibits potential in the design of enzyme inhibitors due to the presence of primary amine and sulfonamide functional groups. Applied in medicinal chemistry research for constructing libraries of compounds targeting carbonic anhydrase and other metalloenzymes, with applications in treating conditions such as glaucoma, cancer, and metabolic acidosis. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where aromatic sulfonamides contribute to stability and binding properties.
