:

3-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one

Description:
3-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one, also known by its CAS number 76220-94-5, is a cyclic amide characterized by a five-membered ring structure containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the pyrrolidine ring, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its biological activity. As a pyrrolidinone derivative, it may exhibit properties typical of lactams, including the ability to participate in various chemical reactions such as acylation and alkylation. The compound's structural features suggest potential uses in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological conditions or as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex molecules. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed, as with all chemical substances, to ensure safe laboratory practices.
