clear colorless to yellow liquid
(S)-(+)-2-(Methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine may be used to prepare planar chiral 2-phospha[3]ferrocenophanes. It may also be used as an organocatalyst in the cross-aldol reaction of dihydroxyacetone with p-nitrobenzaldehyde to form the corresponding polyol. SMP reacts with benzoylformic acid to form (S)-N-benzoylformyl-2-(methoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine.
ChEBI: (S)-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine is a member of the class of pyrrolidines in which the only substituent is a methoxymethyl group at position 2 (the S-enantiomer0. It is a member of pyrrolidines and an ether.
