Application

N-Methylpyrrolidine can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
N-methyl pyrrolidine-zinc borohydride (ZBHNMP), a reducing agent for reduction of aldehydes, ketones, acid chlorides, and esters. ZBHNMP is also used in the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding amines.
N-alkyl-N-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquids.
N-methylpyrrolidine-2-one hydrotribromide applicable as a catalyst for aziridination of alkenes.

Functionalized fullerenes represent a new class of photosensitizer (PS) that is being investigated for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of various diseases, including cancer. We tested the hypothesis that fullerenes could be used to mediate PDT of intraperitoneal (IP) carcinomatosis in a
