Product Overview |
Uracil (CAS No. 66-22-8) is a pyrimidine-based heterocyclic compound widely used as a key pharmaceutical intermediate in the production of nucleic-acid-related drugs and biochemical reagents. It is particularly suitable for the formulation of nucleoside analogues and raw materials for molecular-biology research.
Our supplied Uracil adopts the mature industrial synthesis route with malic acid and urea as main raw materials, going through low-temperature feeding, cyclization, quenching, recrystallization, centrifugation and drying processes. With purity ≥99.0%, low heavy metal content and controlled residue indicators, this high-quality grade reduces purification pressure for downstream synthesis and improves reaction yield in fluorination and glycosylation reactions.
Uracil can also be used in biochemical culture media and fine-chemical synthesis, where its molecular structure can support reliable biological activity, stable chemical reactivity, and synthesis flexibility. Uracil-based derivatives are also used in selected pharmaceutical manufacturing and life-science research applications.
