Physicochemical properties of some pyrimidine derivatives in some organic solvents

Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds play an immense role in many biochemical processes1 and numerous heterocyclic compounds are biosynthesized by plants and animals, which are also associated to significant biological properties. Nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds are known to play an essential role in many living systems. The nucleic acid bases are the derivatives of pyrimidine and purine,2 found in RNA and DNA in the form of uracil, thymine, cytosine, adenine and guanine. These nitrogen containing heterocycles are synthetically challenging models for a number of physiologically active natural products.3
