Product Overview
6-Chloro-9-(tetrahydro-2-pyranyl)purine (CAS 7306-68-5) is a substituted purine compound containing a chlorine atom at the 6-position and a tetrahydro-2-pyranyl (THP) group attached to the N9 position of the purine ring. Its molecular formula is C₁₀H₁₁ClN₄O, and its molecular weight is approximately 238.67 g/mol. The product is generally described as a white to pale yellow solid, with a reported melting point of approximately 149–151°C.
The THP group serves as a protecting group in organic synthesis, helping modify the reactivity of the purine nitrogen during selected chemical transformations. The chlorine substituent at the 6-position provides a functional site for further substitution reactions, making this compound a useful building block for preparing other purine derivatives. It has been reported as an intermediate in the synthesis of substituted purine compounds, including 6-substituted purine derivatives.
This material is primarily intended for chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediate development, heterocyclic chemistry, and laboratory research. Its structural features make it useful for researchers developing functionalized purine compounds and exploring related synthetic pathways. Actual suitability depends on the required purity, analytical specifications, and intended synthetic process.
