General description

1-Dodecyl-2-pyrrolidinone is an N-alkyl lactam and its reduction with LiH3BNMe2 to the corresponding amine has been reported. It is a potential melatonin-specific chemical penetration enhancer.

Application

1-Dodecyl-2-pyrrolidinone was used in the preparation of few-layered flakes of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) via liquid phase exfoliation of bulk MoS2 powder.
