Chemical Structure

(2S,4S)-tert-Butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate CAS 540501-56-2 chemical structure

Description

(2S,4S)-tert-Butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (CAS 540501-56-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H21NO3 and a molecular weight of 215.29 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2S,4S)-tert-Butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
