● Uses: 6-Methyluracil (cas# 626-48-2) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.6-Methyluracil, also known as thymine or 5-methyluracil, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H6N2O2. It is a pyrimidine derivative and a component of nucleic acids. Thymine, along with adenine, cytosine, and guanine, is one of the four nucleobases found in DNA.Thymine plays a crucial role in DNA by pairing with adenine through hydrogen bonding, forming one of the base pairs that make up the double helix structure. Specifically, thymine forms two hydrogen bonds with adenine in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine and also forms base pairs with adenine.Thymine is responsible for carrying genetic information within the DNA molecule. It acts as a blueprint for the synthesis of proteins and plays a key role in the transmission of genetic traits from one generation to another.Besides its role in DNA and RNA, thymine also serves as an important target in anticancer drugs. Some chemotherapeutic agents target the enzymes responsible for synthesizing thymine, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.Thymine is commercially available and widely used in scientific research, medical applications, and the pharmaceutical industry. When handling thymine, it is important to follow proper laboratory safety protocols, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. Additionally, thymine should be stored in a dry and cool place to prevent degradation and maintain its stability.
