1-(4-Aminophenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone
1-(4-Aminophenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone (CAS 13691-22-0; C10H12N2O; molar mass 176.22 g/mol) is a crystalline organic building block combining a 2-pyrrolidinone (gamma-lactam) ring with a para-aminophenyl group. The free aromatic amine and the cyclic amide make it a versatile bifunctional intermediate for chemical synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical research and the preparation of heterocyclic and pyrrolidine-based compounds. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade fine chemical to laboratories and manufacturers worldwide.

Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry intermediate
Used as a building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug candidates, where the aminophenyl-pyrrolidinone scaffold serves as a starting point for further functionalisation.
Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a pyrrolidinone (gamma-lactam) building block in organic synthesis, contributing a saturated five-membered nitrogen heterocycle to more complex target molecules.
Aromatic amine for derivatisation
The free para-amino group provides a reactive handle for amide coupling, diazotisation, reductive amination, and condensation reactions, enabling onward conversion to anilides, azo compounds and related derivatives.
Research and laboratory reagent
Employed in discovery chemistry and method-development work as a defined small-molecule reagent for structure-activity studies and route-scouting.
