Product Description:

2-Carboxybenzaldehyde, also known as phthalaldehydic acid or o-formylbenzoic acid, is an organic compound featuring both an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid functional group on the same benzene ring. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C8H6O3. This bifunctional molecule serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Its primary application is as a key intermediate in the preparation of phthalide derivatives, which are important structural motifs in various bioactive compounds and functional materials. It is also used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, such as isocoumarins and quinazolines, and can act as a precursor for ligands in coordination chemistry. The compound should be handled with care as it may cause skin and eye irritation. It is typically stored in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents.
