General description

4-Amino-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile (APC) is a pyrimidine derivative that has been synthesized via three-component reaction between benzaldehyde, benzamidine hydrochloride and malononitrile. The infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra of APC have been recorded.

Application

4-Amino-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile may be used as a monodentate ligand to prepare metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pd(II) ions. It may be used as a reactant to prepare 1H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione.
