CAS 726207-85-8: 4(3H)-Pyrimidinone,5-fluoro-2-methoxy-3-methyl-

5-Fluoro-2-methoxy-3-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of heterocycles. It is an equilibrium mixture of tautomers, which are stabilized by hydrogen bonding. The protonated form is acidic, while the zwitterionic form is more basic. The conjugated form can be stabilized by solvation or trifluoroethanol. Tautomerism occurs when the protonated form and the zwitterionic form are in equilibrium with each other. 5-Fluoro-2-methoxy-3-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth and may be useful for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as erythromycin and penicillin.
