2-Formylbenzoic acid (CAS: 605-87-4) is a key heterocyclic building block with molecular formula C8H6O3. It is primarily synthesized via ortho-formylation of benzoic acid derivatives or oxidation of phthalaldehyde. This intermediate serves as a critical precursor for coumarin synthesis and pharmaceutical development.
Store in sealed containers below 25°C away from moisture. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles to prevent skin irritation. Avoid inhalation of dust; ensure adequate ventilation during handling.
