Methyl pyrimidine-2-carboxylate
Methyl pyrimidine-2-carboxylate (CAS 34253-03-7) is a heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C6H6N2O2 and a molar mass of 138.12 g/mol. It is the methyl ester of pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid, combining an electron-deficient pyrimidine ring with a reactive ester handle. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade reagent for chemical synthesis, where it serves chiefly as an intermediate and scaffold in pharmaceutical and agrochemical discovery and in the preparation of further functionalised pyrimidines.

Pharmaceutical intermediate
Used as a building block in medicinal chemistry and drug-discovery programmes, where the pyrimidine core is a common motif in active pharmaceutical ingredients. The ester provides a convenient point for further elaboration into amides, acids and related derivatives.
Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a versatile scaffold for constructing substituted pyrimidines and fused heterocyclic systems. Its electron-deficient ring supports a range of substitution and cross-coupling strategies in synthetic chemistry.
Ester chemistry and derivatisation
The methyl ester is readily hydrolysed to pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid or converted to amides, hydrazides and other carbonyl derivatives. This makes it a practical starting point for preparing libraries of related compounds.
Agrochemical research
Pyrimidine carboxylates are recognised intermediates in the development of crop-protection actives. The compound can be applied as a general building block in agrochemical discovery and process research.
Research and laboratory use
Supplied as a research-grade reagent for use in academic and industrial laboratories engaged in organic and heterocyclic synthesis, method development and structure-activity studies.
