Description:2-Dimethylamino-6-hydroxypurine, with the CAS number 1445-15-4, is a purine derivative characterized by the presence of a dimethylamino group at the 2-position and a hydroxyl group at the 6-position of the purine ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and polar organic solvents, which is indicative of its polar functional groups. It exhibits basic properties due to the dimethylamino group, allowing it to participate in protonation reactions. The hydroxyl group can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 2-Dimethylamino-6-hydroxypurine is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in the study of nucleic acids and as a potential precursor in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. Its structural features contribute to its role in biological systems, including potential effects on nucleoside metabolism and enzyme interactions. As with many purine derivatives, it may also exhibit pharmacological properties, warranting further investigation into its biological activities.
