Frequently asked questions
Product content of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine ≥99%. Purity control is carried out by HPLC or GC methods, meeting pharmaceutical standards. Each batch undergoes strict quality control before shipment.
Loss on drying ≤0.5% is a key indicator of product moisture content. A low value indicates minimal water content, ensuring stability during storage and use, preventing caking and quality deterioration.
The molecular formula of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine is C₄H₄N₂O₂, molecular weight 112.09. Its structure is a symmetric pyrimidine ring with hydroxyl substituents at positions 4 and 6. This symmetric structure gives it unique chemical properties, allowing it to participate in various organic synthesis reactions.
4,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine appears as a yellow powder, which is due to the conjugated double bond system in its molecular structure. The conjugated system formed by the pyrimidine ring and hydroxyl groups leads to selective absorption of visible light, giving the compound a yellow color. Low-color (low-impurity) product should have a uniform yellow shade.
4,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine is slightly soluble in water, soluble in hot water, alkalis, and some organic solvents. Its solubility is highly pH-dependent, increasing in alkaline conditions. As an amphoteric compound, it reacts with both acids and bases.
Under proper storage conditions (dry, ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight), product shelf life can reach 24 months. Recommended storage indoors at 15-25°C, in sealed packaging, to avoid moisture absorption and caking. When storing, handle with care to avoid damaging packaging.
Use protective gloves and a respirator when handling; avoid inhaling dust and skin contact. In case of accidental contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Use as a pharmaceutical intermediate under conditions meeting GMP requirements. For detailed safety information, refer to the product's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Pyrimidines are heterocyclic compounds containing a pyrimidine ring (1,3-diazabenzene). 4,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine is characterized by hydroxyl substituents at positions 4 and 6 of the pyrimidine ring, giving it unique reactivity. Compared to other pyrimidines, its symmetrical structure and the presence of two hydroxyl groups make it indispensable in certain synthetic processes.
Standard packaging: 25 kg/bag, paper bags with PE liner for moisture protection. Custom packaging such as cardboard drums and plastic containers is also available upon customer request. IBC containers offered for large purchases.
