2,4-Diethoxypyrimidine is an organic compound characterized by a pyrimidine ring substituted with two ethoxy groups at the 2 and 4 positions. Its molecular structure consists of a six-membered aromatic ring containing nitrogen atoms at the 1 and 3 positions, contributing to its heterocyclic nature. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethoxy groups. 2,4-Diethoxypyrimidine is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and agrochemicals, due to its potential biological activities and applications in synthesizing other chemical compounds. Its reactivity can be attributed to the presence of the pyrimidine ring, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2,4-Diethoxypyrimidine

2,4-Diethoxy-pyrimidine (2,4-DOP) is a halogenated aromatic compound that can be used in the synthesis of trifluoroacetate esters. It reacts with carboxylic acids to form ester derivatives. 2,4-DOP is also reactive towards other compounds and has been shown to react with nucleosides such as thymidylate and cytidine. This reaction results in the formation of pyrimidine nucleoside analogues that are active against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1). In addition to its antiviral activity, 2,4-DOP has been shown to inhibit the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is responsible for folate metabolism. This inhibition leads to an increase in the production of thymidylate and thymine nucleotides by inhibiting their degradation by section. 2,4-DOP also binds to DNA and inhibits transcription
