2-Methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 149875-30-5, C9H6F3NO2) is a key heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by oxidation. It serves as a critical scaffold for constructing fluorinated pharmaceutical agents.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection to prevent skin irritation and inhalation hazards.
