2-Thioxo-2-hydroadenosine(CAS: 43157-50-2)

2-Thioxo-2-hydroadenosine is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 316.07 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water and organic solvents. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but reacts with strong acids and bases. It is sensitive to heat and light.

2-Thioxo-2-hydroadenosine can be synthesized by the condensation of adenosine with a thioacetic acid derivative. Commonly, this involves the use of a base such as sodium hydride as a catalyst. The yield is typically around 70%, and the method is selective and efficient.

2-Thioxo-2-hydroadenosine is used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as a nucleoside analog. It may also have applications in the development of biosensors and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Its use in semiconductors and polymers is less common but has been explored.

When handling 2-Thioxo-2-hydreadenosine, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. Store the compound in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. In case of spill, clean up with care and refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific instructions.
