Adenine History

 Adenine was also called Vitamin B4.It is no longer considered a true vitamin or part of the Vitamin B complex. However, two B vitamins, niacin and riboflavin, bind with adenine to form the essential cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide  and flavin adenine dinucleotide , respectively. Hermann Emil Fischer was one of the early scientists to study Adenine.Some think that, at the origin of life on Earth, the first adenine was formed by the polymerization of five hydrogen cyanide  molecules. However, this has been criticized by some chemists.

Adenine Specification

The IUPAC name of Adenine is 7H-purin-6-amine. With the CAS registry number 73-24-5, it is also named as 1,6-Dihydro-6-iminopurine.

Preparation of Adenine: this chemical can be derived from the nucleotide inosine monophosphate (IMP) by using atoms from the amino acids glycine, glutamine, and aspartic acid, as well as fused with the enzyme tetrahydrofolate. Additionally, you can use 4,6-Dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine to produce 4,6-Diamino-5-nitropyrimidine by reaction with Ammonia. And then you would obtain this chemical by the cyclization of 4,6-Diamino-5-nitropyrimidine with Formamide, Formic acid and Sodium thiosulfate.

Uses of Adenine: this chemical is used in forming nucleotides of the nucleic acids. Furthermore, it can bind to Thymine via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures in DNA. And it is used for protein synthesis, adenine binds to uracil in RNA. It also can be used to produce Adenosine, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Similarly, it can react with Fluoromethyl-oxirane to get 1-(6-Amino-purin-9-yl)-3-fluoro-propan-2-ol.



This reaction needs K2CO3 and Dimethylformamide at temperature of 70-75 °C for 6 hours. The yield is 63 %.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following: it is harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. In case of contact with eyes, please rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. And you should wear suitable protective clothing.

People can use the following data to convert to the molecule structure.
(1)SMILES: c1[nH]c2c(ncnc2n1)N
(2)InChI: InChI=1/C5H5N5/c6-4-3-5(9-1-7-3)10-2-8-4/h1-2H,(H3,6,7,8,9,10)
