Product Description

Product Introduction

Pyrrolidine (CAS 123-75-1), also known as Tetrahydropyrrole or Azolidine, is a cyclic secondary amine with the chemical formula C4H9N. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic ammonia-like, penetrating odor. As a saturated four-carbon heterocycle, Pyrrolidine (CAS 123-75-1) is highly reactive and serves as a fundamental building block in organic synthesis. It is miscible with water and most organic solvents. Its unique structure makes it an essential precursor for a wide array of bioactive molecules, including amino acids, drugs, and specialty industrial chemicals.

Product Selling Points

  • High Chemical Reactivity: Its secondary amine nature allows for easy derivation into amides, enamines, and quaternary ammonium salts.

  • Exceptional Purity (≥ 99.5%): Chemfine ensures a highly refined product with strictly controlled moisture and low levels of related impurities.

  • Versatile Building Block: A core component in the “Pyrrolidine ring” structure found in many natural products and synthetic drugs.

  • Reliable Industrial Supply: Produced using advanced catalytic hydrogenation of pyrrole or 1,4-butanediol routes to ensure consistent quality.

  • Broad Industry Utility: Essential for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, rubber, and epoxy resin industries.

  • Global Compliance: Shipped in UN-approved specialized containers with full documentation to ensure safe international handling.


Applications

Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis Used as a critical building block for the synthesis of “racetam” class drugs, antibiotics, and various antihypertensive medications.

Agrochemical Manufacturing Acts as a key intermediate in the production of high-efficiency fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.

Rubber Vulcanization Accelerators Functions as a precursor for the synthesis of specialty accelerators that improve the speed and quality of the rubber curing process.

Epoxy Resin Curing Agents Utilized in the formulation of modified amine hardeners to enhance the chemical resistance and mechanical strength of epoxy coatings.

Chemical Catalyst and Solvent Serves as a catalyst in various organic transformations and as a specialty solvent in high-tech industrial processes.


Packaging

Standard industrial packaging options for Pyrrolidine include:

  • 170kg tight-head steel drums (Standard export packaging).

  • 850kg IBC tanks for high-volume automated production lines.

  • ISO Tanks for large-scale international bulk maritime shipments.

  • All packaging is hermetically sealed under a nitrogen blanket to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.


Storage

Pyrrolidine is a flammable and corrosive liquid. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Store in a dedicated flammable liquids cabinet with secondary containment. Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from light. Store away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and acid anhydrides. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of at least 12 months.
