Methanesulfonamide is used in the synthesis of important organic reagents such as N-(2-methylthio-1-p-toluenesufonyl)methanesulfonamide and tert-butyl ((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl)sulfonyl)carbamate.[1]
It can be used as a source of nitrogen in the conversion of carboxylic acids to corresponding nitriles.[2]
It is widely used as a reagent in the synthesis of medicinally important compounds such as derivatives of indole-N-acetamide[3], methanesulfonamide pyrimidine-substituted 3,5-dihydroxy-6-heptenoates[4] and repertaxin[5].

A series of analogues of N,N-di-n-propyldopamine (DPDA) in which the 3-hydroxyl group was replaced by bioisosteric groups was prepared and evaluated for D1- and D2-receptor affinity. The 3-methane-sulfonamide analogue (18) had a higher affinity for the D2 receptor than DPDA
