Title: The production of diazotizable amines by a simple degradative reaction of purines
Abstract: A simple method of degrading purines is described. Following such treatment the purines hypoxanthine, xanthine, and isoguanine, in addition to adenine, gave characteristic dyes upon diazotization and coupling. Studies are reported on the degradation of hypoxanthine by the use of this method. The responsible diazotizable components from this purine are identified as 4-amino-5-imidazolecarboxamide and a closely related non-acetylatable amine.
