• Name: 6-Chlorothymine
• Synonyms: 6-chloro-5-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Description

6-Chlorothymine is a purine nucleoside that is structurally similar to the natural nucleosides adenosine and guanosine. It is found in many organisms and has been shown to have inhibitory properties against the transfer of uracil from one nucleotide to another. 6-Chlorothymine can also be used as an acceptor for the conversion of 6-aminopurines into their pyrimidine derivatives, which are important precursors for DNA synthesis. This chemical compound is found in chloroplasts, where it is used as a precursor for deoxyribonucleotides.
