Overview
(R/S)-Pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid is a chiral heterocyclic intermediate used in peptide synthesis. The racemic mixture features CAS 25170-86-9 with molecular formula C5H9NO2. Standard industrial production involves catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated precursors.
Application
- Pharmaceuticals: Precursor for beta-lactam antibiotics and ACE inhibitors.
- Agrochemicals: Building block for novel herbicide scaffolds.
- Research: Used in stereoselective organic synthesis studies.
Precautions
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent degradation. Avoid inhalation; use NIOSH-approved respirators. Not approved for direct human consumption without further processing.
