Pyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde

Pyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde is used in the preparation of (S)- and (R)-pyrimidyl alkanol by reacting with diisopropylzinc and (n-butyl)ethyl(n-hexyl)(n-propyl)methane. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Pyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde is a chiral compound that is often used as a building block in the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleosides, which are important in biological studies. It is also used to synthesize chiral compounds, such as chlorate. The compound's asymmetric synthesis, high reactivity and biological function make it an excellent candidate for use in asymmetric reactions. Pyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde has been shown to be antiviral and antimicrobial, with a potency similar to that of muscarinic m1 receptor agonists.
