Product Description:

3-Carboxybenzaldehyde is an organic compound featuring both an aldehyde group and a carboxylic acid group on a benzene ring. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C8H6O3 and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol. This bifunctional aromatic building block is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Its primary application is as a key synthetic precursor in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The aldehyde group is highly reactive, allowing for condensation, reductive amination, and other transformations, while the carboxylic acid can be esterified, amidated, or used for further derivatization. It serves as a crucial starting material for the synthesis of compounds like valsartan (an antihypertensive drug) and other sartan-class active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The compound is commercially available and is handled as a standard laboratory chemical. It requires storage in a cool, dry place, and standard safety precautions for handling aldehydes and carboxylic acids should be observed.
