3-Butyn-1-ol,4-(5-pyrimidinyl)-

Description:

3-Butyn-1-ol, 4-(5-pyrimidinyl)- is an organic compound characterized by its alkyne functional group and a pyrimidine ring. The presence of the butynol moiety indicates that it has a triple bond between the first and second carbon atoms, along with a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the terminal position, which contributes to its reactivity and potential for hydrogen bonding. The pyrimidine ring, a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing nitrogen atoms, adds to the compound's biological activity and may influence its solubility and interaction with other molecules. This compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of both alcohols and alkynes, such as being a polar solvent and participating in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Its specific applications may vary, but compounds with similar structures are often explored in medicinal chemistry and material science for their potential therapeutic effects or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data and handling precautions should be considered due to the potential reactivity of the alkyne and the biological implications of the pyrimidine moiety.
