Description

5-(4-Formylphenyl)Nicotinic Acid is a high-purity organic building block featuring both a carboxylic acid and an aldehyde functional group on a biphenyl-like scaffold. This bifunctional nature makes it a versatile intermediate for the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in advanced pharmaceutical and material science research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for constructing novel active compounds and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for molecules targeting specific receptors or enzymes.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used to create complex ligands for catalysis, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and coordination chemistry applications.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polymers with tailored thermal or optical properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to build molecular probes for studying biological processes and protein interactions.
• Organic Electronic Materials: A building block for conjugated systems used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or semiconductors.

Quality Control

Our 5-(4-Formylphenyl)Nicotinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation.
