3,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde

Description:

3,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its pyrrole ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing nitrogen. This compound features three methyl groups attached to the pyrrole ring at the 3, 4, and 5 positions, contributing to its hydrophobic character and influencing its reactivity. The aldehyde functional group at the 2-position makes it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various derivatives and complex molecules. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the aldehyde group allows for typical reactivity associated with aldehydes, such as nucleophilic addition and condensation reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its solubility in organic solvents and relatively low boiling point suggest it can be easily handled in laboratory settings. Safety data should be consulted for handling precautions, as with all chemical substances.
