3-Pyrrolidinol,1-methyl-, 3-propanoate

Description:

3-Pyrrolidinol, 1-methyl-, 3-propanoate, with the CAS number 776293-48-2, is an organic compound characterized by its pyrrolidine ring structure, which is a five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle. This compound features a methyl group at the 1-position and a propanoate ester functional group at the 3-position, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the ester group suggests it may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The compound may participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and esterification, due to the reactivity of the ester functional group. Additionally, its nitrogen atom can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and potential biological activity. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
