Methyl 4-ethyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate

Description:

Methyl 4-ethyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its pyrimidine ring structure, which is a six-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3. This compound features a carboxylate functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. The presence of the ethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, while the methyl ester group at the carboxylate position provides a means for further chemical modifications. Methyl 4-ethyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the compound. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
