CAS 55656-95-6

2-Pyrrolidinone, 4-(4-methylphenyl)-

Description:

2-Pyrrolidinone, 4-(4-methylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 55656-95-6, is an organic compound characterized by a pyrrolidinone ring substituted with a para-methylphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits a polar nature due to the presence of the carbonyl group in the pyrrolidinone structure, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but its solubility in water is limited. 2-Pyrrolidinone derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, as they can serve as intermediates in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules. Additionally, the presence of the aromatic methylphenyl group may impart unique electronic properties, making it of interest in materials science and organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
