Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 5-Hydroxymethylpyrimidines

Pyrimidine displays a wide array of bioactivities, and thence, it is still considered a potent unit of new drug research. Its derivative, 5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine, can be found as a scaffold of nontypical nitrogen bases in DNA and as a core of some natural bioactive compounds. In this study, we obt...
