Application

This compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical research where the methylsulfonyl group enhances metabolic stability. The bromine moiety enables facile functionalization via palladium-catalyzed couplings for drug discovery applications. Researchers also utilize it to create sulfone-containing liquid crystals and advanced materials with tailored electronic properties. Its electron-deficient aromatic ring makes it valuable in designing charge-transfer complexes for optoelectronic applications.
