5-Cyanouracil

Description:

5-Cyanouracil is a heterocyclic organic compound that belongs to the class of pyrimidines, specifically a derivative of uracil. Its molecular structure features a cyano group (-CN) at the 5-position of the uracil ring, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically characterized by its white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in polar solvents. 5-Cyanouracil exhibits biological activity, particularly as an antimetabolite, which can interfere with nucleic acid synthesis, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its chemical formula is C4H3N3O2, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. The presence of the cyano group enhances its reactivity and potential applications in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, 5-Cyanouracil can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and cycloadditions, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
