Chemical Structure

(2S,4S)-Methyl 4-chloropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate CAS 86940-74-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2S,4S)-Methyl 4-chloropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2S,4S)-Methyl 4-chloropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate (CAS 86940-74-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 163.60 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (2S,4S)-Methyl 4-chloropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 163.60 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
