(3R,4S)-3-Methyl-3,4-pyrrolidinedimethanol

Description:

(3R,4S)-3-Methyl-3,4-pyrrolidinedimethanol is a chiral organic compound characterized by its pyrrolidine ring structure, which features two hydroxymethyl groups attached to the 3 and 4 positions of the ring. The presence of the methyl group at the 3 position contributes to its stereochemistry, making it a specific enantiomer with distinct optical activity. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxymethyl groups, which enhance its hydrophilicity. It may exhibit interesting biological properties, potentially serving as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The stereochemistry (3R,4S) indicates the specific spatial arrangement of atoms, which can significantly influence the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as well as potential environmental impacts.
