Product Information
- 5-Pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-
2-Hydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid is an intermediate that is used in the synthesis of pyrimidines. It can be synthesized by heating 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid with concentrated alkali solution or refluxing it with an acid solution. This product can also be obtained as a byproduct in the preparation of uracil, thymine, and cytosine.
2-Hydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid is a low yield intermediate that has high reproducibility and requires alkaline conditions for its synthesis. It is typically prepared using a reagent such as metallic sodium or potassium hydroxide.
