4-(2-PYRIDINYL)BENZOIC ACID - Introduction
4-(2-Pyridyl)benzoic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H9NO2 and a molecular weight of 199.21g/mol. It is a white to light yellow crystalline solid at room temperature, soluble in ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, insoluble in water.
4-(2-Pyridyl)benzoic acid is widely used in chemical laboratories. It can be used as a starting material and intermediate in organic synthesis, as well as in coordination chemistry and the preparation of laser materials. For example, it can be used to synthesize mackerel-like complexes with good light-emitting properties for applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
There are two main methods for preparing 4-(2-Pyridyl)benzoic acid. One is the reaction of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with benzoic acid to obtain the target product after condensation and oxidation. Another method is by the reaction of benzoyl chloride and 2-pyridyl methanol.
Regarding safety information, 4-(2-Pyridyl)benzoic acid is relatively stable under normal conditions of use, non-flammable, and there is no obvious danger of explosion and combustion. However, the compound should still be stored and used properly, avoiding contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical help.
