N-Propyl-2-pyrrolidone (NPP) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine-like odor. It is a member of the pyrrolidone family, which are cyclic amides. NPP is known for its excellent solvent properties, making it effective in dissolving a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. It has a high boiling point and low volatility, which contributes to its stability under various conditions. NPP is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment, and it is miscible with water, alcohols, and many organic solvents. This compound is often used in applications such as coatings, adhesives, and as a solvent in chemical processes. Additionally, NPP has been investigated for its potential use in pharmaceuticals and as a carrier for drug delivery due to its biocompatibility. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to minimize exposure.
