4(3H)-Pyrimidinone,5-amino-2-ethoxy-

Description:

4(3H)-Pyrimidinone, 5-amino-2-ethoxy- is a chemical 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 an amino group (-NH2) at the 5-position and an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) at the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential biological activity. The presence of the amino group suggests that it may participate in hydrogen bonding and could act as a nucleophile in various chemical reactions. The ethoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its pharmacokinetic properties. This compound may be of interest in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, due to its structural features that could interact with biological targets. As with many pyrimidine derivatives, it may exhibit a range of biological activities, including antimicrobial or antitumor properties, although specific activities would depend on further empirical studies.
