2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde (CAS 606-48-8, C6H5NO) is a key heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation or catalytic oxidation of 2-methylpyridine. It serves as a fundamental building block in fine chemical manufacturing.
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE to prevent skin contact and inhalation due to potential toxicity and irritancy.
