Isocytosine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to Off-White Solid

Uses

Isocytosine (2-aminouracil) is an isomer of cytosine used in physical chemical studies involving metal complex binding, hydrogen-bonding, and tautomerism and proton transfer effects in nucleobases.

Uses

Isocytosine is a useful intermediate for chemical modifications of base and sugar moieties in natural nucleosides

Definition
