2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde（Cat No.:M046505）is an aromatic heterocyclic compound featuring an aldehyde group at the 2-position of a pyridine ring. This versatile building block is widely used in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of Schiff bases, coordination complexes, and heterocyclic scaffolds. Its reactive aldehyde group readily forms imines and oximes, making it valuable in ligand design and medicinal chemistry. 2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde also serves as a precursor in synthesizing fluorescent probes, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. Its electron-deficient pyridine ring enhances reactivity, enabling diverse transformations in fine chemical and materials research.
