[1-(2-Methoxyethyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methanol
[1-(2-Methoxyethyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methanol (CAS 90227-42-2, C8H17NO2, molar mass 159.23 g/mol) is a functionalised pyrrolidine building block bearing a hydroxymethyl group at the 3-position and an N-(2-methoxyethyl) side chain. This bifunctional, saturated heterocycle is used chiefly in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, where its primary alcohol and basic nitrogen serve as versatile handles for derivatisation. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade chemical to laboratory and process-development customers worldwide.

Pharmaceutical intermediate
Serves as a heterocyclic building block in the synthesis of drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The pyrrolidine scaffold is a common motif in medicinal chemistry, and the pendant hydroxymethyl group offers a convenient point for further elaboration.
Fine-chemical and organic synthesis
Used as a versatile C4 to C8 building block in multi-step organic synthesis. Its primary alcohol can be oxidised, etherified, esterified or converted to a leaving group, enabling a range of downstream transformations.
Heterocyclic scaffold elaboration
The substituted pyrrolidine ring provides a three-dimensional, sp3-rich core for building molecular complexity and exploring structure-activity relationships in discovery chemistry.
Laboratory research reagent
Supplied to research and process-development laboratories as a reference and starting material for method development, analytical work and small-scale synthesis.
