N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinone is an organic compound insoluble in water. It is a starting material for the synthesis of spirocyclic tetrahydrofuran and is also used in studies related to the preparation of 5-membered heterocyclic secondary alcohols with carrot as a biocatalyst[1].
Used in a study of asymmetric hydrogen-transfer bioreduction of ketones with Leifsonia alcohol dehydrogenase.
In the Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of a novel series of rifabutin-like spirorifamycins 1-Boc-3-pyrrolidinone is used.
