1-(2-{3-[(2,5-Dioxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)oxy]-3-oxopropoxy}ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione(CAS: 1807518-72-4)

This compound is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 419.39 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is reactive towards nucleophilic substitution and may undergo hydrolysis under acidic conditions. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored under an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation.

This compound can be synthesized via a multi-step process involving the synthesis of a pyrrolidine derivative, followed by its condensation with an alcohol to form the desired pyrrole-2,5-dione. The synthesis typically involves the use of strong acids and bases as catalysts, with yields around 70-80%. The reaction is selective and highly reproducible.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of new drugs, particularly those targeting specific biological pathways. It is also used in the polymer industry to enhance the properties of certain materials, and in the sensor and semiconductor industries for its unique electronic and optical properties.

When handling this compound, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. It should be stored in a well-ventilated area and handled in a fume hood to minimize inhalation risks. Spills should be handled with caution using appropriate absorbents and disposed of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information and emergency procedures.
