Description
2-Pyrrolidone is a cyclic amide offered at min. 99,5 % purity for synthesis, with empirical formula C₄H₇NO and CAS number 616-45-5. The compound has a molar mass of 85,11 g/mol, a density of 1,11 g/cm³, a flash point of 138 °C and a boiling point of 250,2 °C, making it a versatile polar solvent and intermediate in organic laboratory work. This grade is Typical applications include use as a reaction medium, building block for heterocyclic chemistry, and process solvent where controlled boiling behaviour and density support reproducible handling. The material is identified under EG number 210-483-1. Synthesis laboratories value the min. 99,5 % specification when preparing derivatives, formulating specialty mixtures, or conducting scale-up trials that depend on consistent solvent quality and documented identity data.

Questions about 2-Pyrrolidone, min. 99,5 %, for synthesis, 500 ml, plastic
What is this article?
2-Pyrrolidone, min. 99,5 %, for synthesis, 500 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
