Description

1-(2'-Hydroxyethyl)Uracil is a versatile uracil derivative, a key heterocyclic building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both a uracil ring and a hydroxylethyl side chain, makes it a valuable intermediate for creating more complex molecules. This compound is primarily sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science sectors for developing nucleoside analogs and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of novel nucleoside analogs and antiviral/anticancer drug candidates.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a building block for modifying nucleic acids and studying enzyme-substrate interactions.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as an intermediate in the creation of new pesticides and herbicides with specific modes of action.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile synthon for introducing the uracil moiety into more complex organic molecules.
• Material Science: Potential use in the development of functional polymers and specialty materials.

Quality Control

Our 1-(2'-Hydroxyethyl)Uracil is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, identity, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
