Abstract
THE synthesis of a wide variety of monosubstituted pteridines was begun in this Department in 1949, in order to provide less complex pteridines than occur in Nature. We are using the new material to investigate the connexion between constitution and physico-chemical properties (particularly solubility, ionization constants, stability to hydrolysis, spectra). This is intended as a contribution towards relating structure to biological action.
