Overview

A-PVP is the common catalog name for α-pyrrolidinovalerophenone, also known as 1-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one, a synthetic cathinone reference material. It is associated with CAS number 14530-33-7 and molecular formula C15H21NO, with a molecular weight of approximately 231.33 g/mol. In laboratory contexts, it is used as a forensic and analytical standard for controlled identification and method development.unodc+2

Chemical & Physical Properties

A-PVP is commonly encountered as a crystalline solid and may also be reported in hydrochloride-salt form in reference material literature. For analytical work, polar organic solvents are preferred when preparing stock solutions for LC-MS/MS or GC-MS workflows.unodc+2

Primary Research Applications

A-PVP is used as an analytical reference standard in forensic toxicology, clinical toxicology, and analytical chemistry. It supports LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, HPLC, and NMR method development, calibration, validation, and confirmatory testing of synthetic cathinone panels. The compound is also relevant to structural and metabolite profiling studies in neuropharmacology and metabolomics. Its use remains strictly limited to laboratory research and internal quality-control applications.euda.europa+3

Storage & Stability

For best stability, keep the container sealed and minimize exposure to air, heat, and moisture during handling. Maintain batch traceability and QC review before analytical deployment.
