5-Methylpyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 100978-64-7) is a heterocyclic intermediate primarily synthesized via cyclization of beta-keto esters with urea derivatives. Its molecular formula is C6H6N2O2, serving as a critical scaffold in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrimidine-based bioactive compounds.
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles; avoid inhalation of dust. Not intended for direct clinical use without further derivatization.
