2-Chloropurine is a purine derivative characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the second position of the purine ring. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and ethanol. The molecular formula of 2-chloropurine is C5H4ClN5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 173.57 g/mol. This compound exhibits properties typical of purines, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to its nitrogen atoms, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. 2-Chloropurine is of interest in medicinal chemistry, particularly for its potential as an antiviral and anticancer agent, as it can interfere with nucleic acid synthesis. Its reactivity can also be attributed to the presence of the chlorine substituent, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
