6-Amino-1-methyluracil Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: Compounds 1a, 1b and 1e were prepared according to the reportedmethods26–34 by the addition of urea, methylurea and/or methylthiourea (0.1 mol) to ethyl cyanoacetate (0.1 mol) in absolute ethanol(290 mL) containing sodium (0.2 mol). The mixture was refluxed for10–12 h, allowed to cool to r.t. and acidified with acetic acid (pH 6).The resulting precipitate was washed with distilled water and dried in adesiccator overnight.Sodium (7.80 g, 340 mmol) was added in batches to ethanol (180 mL) while stirring at 25 °C, heated to 80°C to reflux for 0.5 hours. At 25° C., metallic sodium (7.80 g, 340 mmol) was added into anhydrous ethanol (180 mL) in batches while stirring, followed by heating to 80° C. and refluxing for 0.5 hour.

Uses

6-Amino-1-methyluracil is known to exert inhibitory effects towards DNA repair glycosylase. It is also known to be used as a flame retardant.
