FAQ
7-METHYLXANTHINE (CAS: 552-62-5) is a white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 194.21 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 200 mg/mL in water and is slightly soluble in ethanol. Chemically, it is relatively stable, but it can undergo hydrolysis in basic conditions.
7-METHYLXANTHINE is commonly synthesized via amination of 7-chlorotheophylline. This process involves the reaction of 7-chlorotheophylline with ammonia in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide, followed by purification through recrystallization.
7-METHYLXANTHINE (CAS: 552-62-5) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of caffeine and other xanthine derivatives. It is also used in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer and in cosmetics for its potential skin benefits.
When handling 7-METHYLXANTHINE, protective gloves, goggles, and lab coats are recommended. Work should be performed in a well-ventilated area or in a fume hood to minimize inhalation. Spills should be cleaned up immediately with care, and proper disposal procedures should be followed. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
