General description

7-Methylxanthine is an oxopurine, which belongs to the class of xanthines. It may be synthesized by the reaction between 4-amino-1-methylimidazole-5-carboxamide and diethyl carbonate.

Application

7-Methylxanthine can be used as a building block to synthesize tricyclic imidazo[2,1-i]purinone derivatives as potential adenosine receptor antagonists.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
