4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine(CAT: M132777) is a heterocyclic aromatic compound that incorporates a pyrimidine ring substituted with a 4-methoxyphenyl group at the 4-position and a methylsulfanyl group at the 2-position. This structure provides both electron-donating (methoxy) and sulfur-containing (methylsulfanyl) functional groups, making it useful in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The combination of these substituents often enhances the compound’s ability to interact with biological targets, making it a potential scaffold for drug discovery, especially in the development of enzyme inhibitors or receptor modulators. The pyrimidine ring system itself is a key structural motif in many bioactive molecules, and this derivative can serve as a valuable intermediate or building block in synthesizing compounds for therapeutic or material science applications.
