Pyrrolidine, 3-bromo-,(S)- (9CI)

Description:

Pyrrolidine, 3-bromo-, (S)-(9CI) is a chiral organic compound characterized by a five-membered saturated nitrogen-containing ring known as pyrrolidine, with a bromine substituent at the third carbon position. Its molecular structure includes a nitrogen atom that contributes to its basicity and potential for forming hydrogen bonds, making it relevant in various chemical reactions and applications. The (S) designation indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. This compound is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to act as a building block or intermediate. Additionally, the presence of the bromine atom can enhance reactivity, allowing for further functionalization. Pyrrolidine derivatives are known for their diverse applications, including roles as solvents, ligands in coordination chemistry, and precursors in the synthesis of more complex molecules. As with many brominated compounds, safety considerations regarding handling and disposal are important due to potential environmental and health impacts.
