描述
Hydroxymethylpyrimidine, also known as pyramine or toxopyrimidine, is a member of the class of compounds known as hydropyrimidines. Hydropyrimidines are compounds containing a hydrogenated pyrimidine ring (i.e. containing less than the maximum number of double bonds.). Hydroxymethylpyrimidine is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hydroxymethylpyrimidine can be found in a number of food items such as mexican oregano, sugar apple, tronchuda cabbage, and cinnamon, which makes hydroxymethylpyrimidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hydroxymethylpyrimidine exists in E.coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
