5-Bromo-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (CAS: 18609-74-2, C6H4BrNO) is a key heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via bromination of 2-picoline followed by formylation. It serves as a critical building block in organic synthesis for constructing complex nitrogen-containing scaffolds.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C away from light. Avoid inhalation and skin contact; wear appropriate PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves due to potential toxicity and irritancy.
