What is “C14H20N2O3 proline methyl propiolate”?
“C14H20N2O3” is the molecular formula of a compound that includes elements consistent with a proline-containing molecule (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen). The name “proline methyl propiolate” indicates a structure where a proline (amino-acid) portion is linked to a methyl propiolate (an ester of propiolic acid).
I can help more precisely if you share one of the following:
- the full product name as written on the label/catalog page (including any salts, hydrates, stereochemistry like L- or D-, or “methyl ester” wording), or
- a link to where you saw the formula (supplier page, patent, or database entry), or
- the CAS number.
How can I verify the exact compound from the formula?
Many compounds can share the same molecular formula, so the exact identity usually requires at least one additional identifier (often a CAS number). If you provide that, I can confirm whether the intended material is indeed “proline methyl propiolate” and match it to the correct structure.
If you’re looking for synthesis or characterization info (NMR/IR/MS)
For a proline–propiolate–type ester/condensation product, people typically look for:
- ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR peaks that confirm the methyl ester and the proline ring substituents,
- IR bands for ester carbonyls and amide/amine functionality,
- mass spectrometry to check the molecular ion consistent with C14H20N2O3.
If you tell me what you need (e.g., purity spec, expected MW, NMR assignment, reaction scheme, or supplier options), I’ll tailor the answer.
Where do you want to go next?
Reply with either:
1) a CAS number, or
2) the exact text from the source you’re using (including any “L-”, “methyl ester”, stereochemical descriptors, or salt form),
and I’ll give a precise identification and the most relevant practical details.
