1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine

1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine is a hydroxyethyl-substituted pyrrolidine derivative used as an organic intermediate in selected pharmaceutical intermediate, fine chemical, and specialty synthesis routes. Its structure combines a saturated pyrrolidine ring with a hydroxyethyl side chain, providing both tertiary amine character and alcohol functionality for downstream transformation.
