General description

Crystal structure of 2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine was studied.

Application

2-Amino-5-bromopyrimidine was employed:
  • in synthesis of pyridine, pyrimidine and pyridinone C-nucleoside phosphoramidites
  • in synthesis of 2-phthalimido-5-bromopyrimidine
  • as intermediate for the preparation of sulfanilamides and amino acids containing the pyrimidine ring system. The products are potential antiviral agents

In the structures of the HDV ribozyme a cytosine nucleobase resides at the active site poised to participate directly in catalysis. Defining the functional role of the nucleobase requires nucleoside analogues that perturb the functional groups in a strategic manner.
