Identification
Name: 4-Amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine
Description:4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine is a member of the chemical class known as Pyrimidines and Pyrimidine Derivatives. These are compounds containing a pyrimidne ring, which is a six-member aromatic heterocycle which consists of two nitrogen atoms (at positions 1 and 3) and four carbon atoms. The conversion of 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) into 4-amino-2-methyl-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine (HMP) is a fascinating reaction on the thiamin biosynthetic pathway in bacteria and is probably the most complex unresolved rearrangement in primary metabolism.
