2H-Pyrrole-2-carboxylicacid, 3,4-dihydro-, ethyl ester

Description:

2H-Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, 3,4-dihydro-, ethyl ester, with CAS number 98431-77-7, is an organic compound characterized by its pyrrole ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing nitrogen. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group and an ethyl ester moiety, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate polarity due to the presence of both hydrophobic (the pyrrole ring and ethyl group) and hydrophilic (the carboxylic acid) components. It may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitutions, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, derivatives of pyrrole compounds are often studied for their biological activities, including potential applications in pharmaceuticals. The physical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the compound. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
