2,5-Dibromonicotinic acid(CAS: 29312-99-0)

2,5-Dibromonicotinic acid is a derivative of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) with two bromine atoms attached at the 2,5 positions. It is a white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C5H3Br2NO3. This compound is used in research and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other pharmaceuticals and organic compounds.

2,5-Dibromonicotinic acid is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also used in research and as an analytical reagent due to its unique chemical properties.

2,5-Dibromonicotinic acid is generally safe when handled with proper precautions. However, it is corrosive and can cause skin irritation and eye damage. It should be used in a well-ventilated area and protective gloves, goggles, and clothing should be worn. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and do not inhale the fumes.

2,5-Dibromonicotinic acid should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept at room temperature (15-25°C) and protected from direct sunlight. Humidity levels should be controlled to prevent moisture absorption, which could affect its stability and solubility.
