Description

2,4-Dihydroxy-5,6-dimethylpyrimidine is an inhibitor that is used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It reacts with aldehydes to form stable and reactive acylium ions. These acylium ions can then react with electrophiles, such as ketones, esters, and amines to form new products. 2,4-Dihydroxy-5,6-dimethylpyrimidine is usually used at neutral pH and has a reaction rate of about 10 M/s for the formation of an acylium ion from an aldehyde. This compound also reacts with nitrogen atoms on the aromatic ring to form a bidentate ligand that coordinates to the metal atom in the reaction mechanism of nitration.
