DL-Proline, 2-methyl-5-oxo- is an organic compound characterized by its structure as a derivative of proline, an amino acid. It features a five-membered pyrrolidine ring, which is typical of proline, along with a ketone functional group at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position. This compound is typically classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, where it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds or as a building block in peptide synthesis. The presence of the ketone group can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Additionally, DL-Proline, 2-methyl-5-oxo- may exhibit unique properties such as solubility in polar solvents and specific stereochemical configurations, which can affect its biological activity and interactions in biochemical pathways.

<p>2-Methyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (2MOP) is a levulinic acid derivative with a carboxylic acid group on the side chain. It can be synthesized from levulinic acid, which is produced from the hydrolysis of cellulose. 2MOP is used as a plasticizer and an intermediate in the synthesis of esters such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate. 2MOP has been found to have good compatibility with polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and polyolefins. This compound has been used to produce plastics that are flexible, tough, and resistant to heat degradation.</p>
