5-(2-HYDROXY-ETHYL)-PYRROLIDIN-2-ONE

Description:
5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-2-one, also known as HEPP, is a cyclic amide characterized by its five-membered ring structure containing a pyrrolidine moiety. This compound features a hydroxyl group attached to an ethyl chain, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents. HEPP is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science, due to its potential applications in drug formulation and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its stability under standard conditions makes it suitable for further chemical modifications. However, as with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety measures should be observed to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its use.
