Product Information

• Name: 2-(Aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine
• Synonyms: Sulpiride impurity A1-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine is a pharmaceutical preparation that has been used in the analytical method for determining impurities in pharmaceuticals. It has also been used as an intermediate for pharmaceutical dosage preparations and as a reagent for chromatographic analysis of various substances. 2-(Aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine is produced by acylation of pyrrole with ethyl chloride, followed by hydrolysis with sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The substance can be separated into its two components using chromatography, which is based on the difference in their polarity. 2-(Aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine is a dopamine receptor antagonist that blocks uptake of dopamine into cells by inhibiting the dopamine transporter (DAT). This leads to increased levels of extracellular dopamine and subsequent activation of postsynaptic D2 receptors.
