(4,6-Dichloropyrimidin-5-yl)methanol is identified by CAS 1260862-85-8 and molecular formula C5H4Cl2N2O. PubChem resolves this CAS number uniquely to CID 53393188. The cited public record provides SMILES C1=NC(=C(C(=N1)Cl)CO)Cl and InChIKey IFNAZHRWPMTENE-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The name, CAS number, formula, CID, SMILES, and InChIKey describe the same compound and form a precise, publicly traceable identity set for this catalog entry.
This identity centers on a pyrimidine ring bearing chlorine atoms at positions 4 and 6 and a hydroxymethyl substituent at position 5. The leading parenthesis in the verified name is meaningful typography: (4,6-Dichloropyrimidin-5-yl)methanol describes the ring attachment to CH2OH. Formula C5H4Cl2N2O includes two chlorines, two ring nitrogens, and one oxygen, consistent with the verified connectivity rather than a salt or hydrate notation. The methanol ending describes the carbon outside the ring, while the pyrimidinyl portion fixes its point of attachment.
PubChem CID 53393188 links CAS 1260862-85-8 to that exact substitution pattern. In SMILES C1=NC(=C(C(=N1)Cl)CO)Cl, both Cl branches and the CO side chain are located on the same heteroaromatic framework. InChIKey IFNAZHRWPMTENE-UHFFFAOYSA-N provides a compact cross-database key. Using the complete parenthesized name alongside formula C5H4Cl2N2O and these identifiers preserves the distinction from monochloro pyrimidines and from records placing hydroxymethyl at another ring position. It also keeps the two chlorine locants visible instead of reducing the entry to a less specific pyrimidinemethanol label.
