- 5-(Aminomethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one hydrochloride
5-Aminomethyl-pyrrolidin-2-one is an acid ester that is used as a synthon in the synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid. It is synthesized by reacting an amide with formaldehyde, followed by reaction with hydrochloric acid. The catalyst used in this reaction is typically palladium or nickel based. 5-Aminomethyl-pyrrolidin-2-one has shown to be a high yield reactant for the synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid and can be catalytically active at higher temperatures.
