Description:4,6-Diamino-2-mercaptopyrimidine is an organic compound characterized by its pyrimidine ring structure, which features two amino groups (-NH2) at the 4 and 6 positions and a thiol group (-SH) at the 2 position. This compound is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the amino and thiol groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It is known for its role as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both amino and mercapto functional groups allows for diverse reactivity, making it a valuable building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, 4,6-Diamino-2-mercaptopyrimidine may exhibit biological activity, including potential antimicrobial properties, although specific applications can vary. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to understand its handling and potential hazards.
