Methyl thiazolidine-2-carboxylate hydrochloride
Methyl thiazolidine-2-carboxylate hydrochloride (CAS 50703-06-5) is the hydrochloride salt of the methyl ester of thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid, a saturated five-membered sulfur- and nitrogen-containing (thiazolidine) heterocycle. With molecular formula C5H10ClNO2S - HCl and a molar mass of 220.12 g/mol, it is a crystalline heterocyclic building block used chiefly in chemical synthesis and medicinal-chemistry research. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it at 98% assay for laboratory and intermediate applications.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a thiazolidine scaffold in chemical synthesis, providing a saturated S,N-heterocyclic ring with a reactive C-2 methyl ester for onward functionalisation.
Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry intermediate
Used in research-scale routes toward more complex molecules, where the thiazolidine core and ester handle support amidation, hydrolysis and ring-elaboration chemistry.
Ester for downstream derivatisation
The methyl ester can be hydrolysed to the parent carboxylic acid or converted to amides and other derivatives, making the compound a versatile intermediate for library synthesis.
Reference and laboratory reagent
Supplied at 98% assay for use as a defined starting material and reagent in synthetic and analytical laboratory work.
