4,6-Difluoroindole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS: 100358-77-2) is a fluorinated heterocyclic intermediate primarily synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by decarboxylation or direct carboxylation. Its molecular formula is C9H5F2NO2, serving as a critical building block for advanced pharmaceutical synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and eye protection; avoid inhalation of dust. Not approved for direct clinical use without further derivatization.
