Description
(S)-2-Formyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (CAS No. 71461-30-8) is a high-purity chiral building block widely used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. This compound, with the molecular formula C13H15NO3, is a protected form of L-proline aldehyde, featuring a benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) protecting group and an aldehyde functionality at the 2-position of the pyrrolidine ring. Its stereochemical purity makes it invaluable for asymmetric synthesis, particularly in the preparation of peptidomimetics, proline derivatives, and other bioactive molecules. Supplied as a clear to pale-yellow liquid or low-melting solid, this reagent is rigorously tested for identity, purity, and stability to ensure consistent performance in demanding applications. Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to maintain optimal stability.
