(2R)-2-(Methoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine(CAT: R044674) is a chiral pyrrolidine derivative bearing a methoxymethyl substituent at the 2-position with defined (R)-stereochemistry. Its five-membered nitrogen-containing ring and enantiomeric purity make it a valuable intermediate in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical agents and natural product analogs. The methoxymethyl group enhances solubility and introduces a protected alcohol moiety, enabling selective functionalization in multi-step synthesis. This compound is frequently employed in the synthesis of chiral auxiliaries, enzyme inhibitors, and CNS-targeted molecules. Its stability and reactivity profile make it ideal for medicinal chemistry research, chiral building block design, and fine chemical production.
