2-Azetidinone,1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-4-methyl-

Description:

2-Azetidinone, 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-4-methyl- is a chemical compound characterized by its azetidinone ring structure, which is a four-membered lactam. This compound features a hydroxyl group attached to a propyl chain, contributing to its potential solubility in polar solvents. The presence of a methyl group at the 4-position of the azetidinone ring influences its steric and electronic properties, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. The compound may exhibit various functional properties, including potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as a building block in organic synthesis. Its molecular structure suggests it could participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, which may enhance its biological activity or solubility. As with many azetidinones, it may also be of interest in medicinal chemistry for its potential therapeutic effects. However, specific data regarding its stability, toxicity, and detailed reactivity would require further investigation through experimental studies or literature review.
