Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of sulfonamide-based antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the development of compounds with biological activity, including antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also employed in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds for use in medicinal chemistry and drug design. Additionally, it finds application in the development of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its reactive amino and hydroxyl groups.
