Description:
4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, with the CAS number 59887-20-6, is a chemical compound characterized by its pyrrolidinone structure, which features a five-membered lactam ring. This compound is a derivative of pyrrolidinone, incorporating a hydroxymethyl group and a methyl group, which contribute to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent, intermediate in organic synthesis, and in the formulation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
