3-Hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylic acid(Cat No.:L032524)is a heterocyclic compound with the molecular formula C5H4N2O3. It features a pyrazine ring substituted with a hydroxyl group at the 3-position and a carboxylic acid group at the 2-position. This molecule is of interest in medicinal and agrochemical research due to its potential biological activity and ability to coordinate metal ions. The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups contribute to its hydrophilicity and allow for further functionalization. Typically a crystalline solid, it is soluble in polar solvents and should be handled with care under standard laboratory safety conditions.
