Abstract

The constants of acid-base equilibrium of 6-methyluracil-5-carbonitrile in water were determined spectrophotometrically. For the first time, 1,6-dimethyluracil-5-carbonitrile and 3,6-dimethyluracil-5-carbonitrile were obtained, their structures were proved by 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR spectroscopy. Based on the pKa values obtained for all three compounds, the sequence of dissociation in the 6-methyluracil-5-carbonitrile molecule in alkaline aqueous solutions was determined.
