Overview
3-Acetyl-2,4-dimethylpyrrole (CAS: 1007-96-1) is a specialized heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by acetylation of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole. Its molecular formula is C8H11NO. This compound serves as a critical building block for pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
Application
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
- Agrochemical production of specific fungicides and herbicides.
- Research and development of novel heterocyclic drug candidates.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Avoid skin contact and inhalation; use appropriate PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.
