2-Biphenylcarboxylic acid (CAS 516-79-0) is an intermediate aromatic carboxylic acid widely synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation or oxidation of biphenyl derivatives. Its molecular formula is C13H10O2. This compound serves as a critical building block in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors due to its rigid biphenyl structure.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles to prevent skin irritation. Inhalation of dust should be avoided; ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation during handling.
