Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of sulfonamide groups, which are key structural elements in several bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to modify amine-containing compounds, enhancing their biological activity or altering solubility and stability properties. Also utilized in the preparation of sulfonamide-based inhibitors targeting specific enzymes in medicinal chemistry research.
