General description

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol, also known as (S)-(+)-prolinol is a chiral building block that is used for the synthesis of chiral organic compounds. It is also used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis and a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis.

Application

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of (S)-α, α-diaryl-2-pyrrolidinemethanols. It plays an important role in this synthesis by providing chirality to the final product.
