Overview
2-(1,2-Benzisoxazol-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 54709-36-1; C10H9NO3) is a heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via condensation of o-nitrobenzaldehyde with acetoacetic ester. It serves as a critical scaffold in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Application
- Pharmaceutical synthesis: Precursor for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- Agrochemicals: Building block for novel herbicides and fungicides.
- Research: Used in medicinal chemistry for developing CNS-active compounds.
Precautions
- Store in cool, dry place away from oxidizers.
- Use appropriate PPE to prevent skin and eye contact.
- Not for direct human consumption or clinical use without formulation.
