What are the uses of 2-pyrrolidone?

2-pyrrolidone, also known as pyrrolone, azole cyclopentane, butyrolactam, is a colorless crystal or liquid with many uses, such as:

Solvent: It can be miscible with most organic solvents such as water, ethanol, ether, chloroform, benzene, ethyl acetate and carbon disulfide, and can be used as a solvent;

Organic synthesis intermediate: Used to make nylon 4, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, nylon 4, naofukang, etc.;

Medical field: It has certain biological activity, and relevant studies have shown that it has anti-cancer properties;

Industrial application: It can be used as a solvent for plasticizers, polymerizers, pesticides, etc.;

Chemical synthesis: It is used to synthesize polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), (±)-tashiromine, (±)-teponponerine T4, (+)-ricciocarpins A and B and other compounds.

When using 2-pyrrolidone, it should be noted that it has certain dangers. It is irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory tract and skin, and is harmful to the body if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Relevant safety regulations should be followed when using it, and appropriate protective measures should be taken.

If more detailed and accurate information is required, it is recommended to refer to relevant chemical materials, professional literature or consult chemical professionals. At the same time, in industrial production and experimental operations, safety operating procedures must be strictly followed to ensure personnel safety and environmental safety.
