1-(4-Methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)ethanone

Description:

1-(4-Methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)ethanone, with the CAS number 71850-85-6, is an organic compound characterized by its pyrimidine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing two nitrogen atoms at the 2 and 4 positions. This compound features a ketone functional group, specifically an ethanone moiety, attached to the pyrimidine ring. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the methyl group at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring influences its chemical reactivity and solubility properties, making it more lipophilic. This compound may exhibit biological activity, potentially serving as a building block in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its synthesis often involves standard organic reactions, such as acylation or condensation. As with many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, observing appropriate safety protocols due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
