2-Pyrrolidinone Typical Properties

2-Pyrrolidinone Usage

2-Pyrrolidinone is mainly used in Organic chemical raw materials. A solvent for synthetic resins, pesticides, polyols, inks and iodine.

2-Pyrrolidinone (CAS 616-45-5) is a versatile compound primarily used as a solvent in various industrial and chemical processes. It also serves as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly for producing N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP).Additionally, it’s used in pharmaceutical formulations and as a component in coatings and polymers. 

Specific Uses:

• Solvent:

  2-Pyrrolidinone is a high-boiling, non-corrosive polar solvent used in various applications, including:

• Inkjet cartridges: Used as a component in ink formulations. 

• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solvent for animal injections and as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs. 

• Membrane filtration: Used in the manufacture of membrane filters, especially for sterile filtration of drugs like pharmaceutical proteins. 

• Other applications: Used as a solvent in the extraction of aromatics from hydrocarbons, in the textile industry, and for various other polymers. 

• Organic Synthesis:

  2-Pyrrolidinone is a precursor to N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), which is a monomer used in the production of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
