5-Fluoronicotinic acid(CAS: 402-66-4)

5-Fluoronicotinic acid is a chemical compound with the formula C5H4FN2O2. It is a white crystalline solid with a bitter taste. It is an analog of nicotinic acid and is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other chemical intermediates.

5-Fluoronicotinic acid is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs. It is also utilized in the chemical industry as an intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds.

5-Fluoronicotinic acid is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it should be stored away from heat and sources of ignition. Protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling to prevent skin and eye contact. Ingestion or inhalation of the compound can be hazardous, and appropriate safety standards should be followed.

5-Fluoronicotinic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The storage area should be well-ventilated, and appropriate safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, should be readily available. Avoid storing it with incompatible materials, such as strong acids or bases.
