2'-Formylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid, with the CAS number 6720-26-9, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. This compound features both an aldehyde group (-CHO) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the biphenyl framework, specifically at the 2' position and the 2 position, respectively. The presence of these functional groups imparts distinct chemical properties, including acidity due to the carboxylic acid and reactivity associated with the aldehyde. The compound is likely to exhibit polar characteristics, making it soluble in polar solvents. Additionally, it may participate in various chemical reactions, such as condensation and esterification, due to the functional groups present. Its structural features suggest potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential hazards associated with its use.

2'-Formylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid is a particulate air pollutant. It is formed by the oxidation of phthalic acid, which is an important precursor in the production of polyesters and plastics. The chemical process starts with the reaction of molecular oxygen with phthalic acid to form 2-formylbenzoic acid, which then reacts with molecular oxygen again to form 2'-formylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid. The rate at which this reaction occurs depends on temperature, concentration and wavelength. This reaction can be catalyzed by metal ions such as copper or manganese. The gas phase mechanism for this reaction is also possible.
2'-Formylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid has been shown to be a diastereoisomeric mixture that contains two enantiomers: R-(+)-2'-formylbiphenyl-2-carboxy
