Description

The pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester is a neutralized derivative of the natural amino acid pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid. It can be metabolized in vivo to the active form, bleomycin. The neutralized form is useful for the synthesis of betaines and other compounds. This product is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of metastable carbenes that are difficult to synthesize by other means. Pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester has been used as a reagent in mass spectrometry to identify isotopomers and isomers. It can also be used as a precursor for chemical transfer reactions with carbenes.
