Acetyl hypoxanthine is an inorganic compound that has a cyclophosphate group. It can be synthesized from the reaction of acetic acid and 6-chloropurine, which is activated with trifluoroacetic acid and irradiated with ultraviolet light. Acetyl hypoxanthine can then be synthesized by ammonolysis of chloroacetone using ammonia or by chlorinating acetylene with chlorine. The advantages of this compound are its high yield and low cost.
