3-Methyluracil

CAS: 608-34-4

3-Methyluracil is a molecule with the molecular formula CH3CHO. It has a protonated form, which is NH2CH2COOH, and an unprotonated form, which is NHCH2COOH. The protonation of 3-methyluracil can be seen in the hydrogen bonding between the two molecules. 3-Methyluracil is found in clinical studies as an effective treatment for obesity. It also has been shown to have nucleobase sequence specificity and can be used to detect adenosine in RNA sequences. 3-Methyluracil is a nucleophilic base that can bond with hydroxide ions from water or other protic solvents. This reaction results in the molecule becoming more acidic, which can be seen by the decrease in pH level when it comes into contact with hydrochloric acid.
