FTIR, pyrimidine, halogenAbstract
This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of the application of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the study of pyrimidine derivatives. Pyrimidine ring is a core framework of many biologically active molecules such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a valuable method for structural elucidation and characterization of pyrimidine derivatives. In this review, the FTIR spectral characteristics of pyrimidine-containing compounds are analysed in detail with special emphasis on characteristic vibrational modes of the pyrimidine ring and functional groups. We cover important FTIR bands that are frequently seen in pyrimidine derivatives and their connection with structural motifs including amino, methyl, halogen, and nitro substituents. The review also covers the use of FTIR spectroscopy for the analysis of these compounds across diverse fields such as medicinal chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry. In addition, the limitations and challenges of FTIR in pyrimidine analysis are addressed, as well as future prospects for enhancing its use.
