What Is 5-Vinylpyrrolidone (5-VP)?
5-Vinylpyrrolidone (CAS 7529-16-0), often abbreviated 5-VP, is a five-membered lactam bearing a vinyl (ethenyl) substituent at the 5-position. Synonyms include 5-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one and 5-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone. Molecular formula C6H9NO; molecular weight about 111.14 g/mol. Always match CAS 7529-16-0 on the batch COA.
The vinyl group enables polymerization and copolymerization workflows, while the lactam ring supports specialty materials and analytical use cases. Catalog literature also lists this CAS as Vigabatrin Related Compound A for impurity / quality-control reference work. Monuo Chemical supplies 5-Vinylpyrrolidone as a specialty chemical raw material under Custom synthesis, with batch identity documentation (COA / SDS). Finished-product claims, labeling and local regulatory filings remain the brand manufacturer’s responsibility. Confirm grade and assay against the batch COA for your intended method.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 5-Vinylpyrrolidone (CAS 7529-16-0)?
It is a vinyl-substituted lactam (5-VP / 5-ethenylpyrrolidin-2-one) used as a specialty monomer and related analytical reference material. Monuo Chemical lists it under Custom synthesis. Match CAS 7529-16-0 on the batch COA.
Is 5-VP the same as N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP)?
No. 5-Vinylpyrrolidone (CAS 7529-16-0) is substituted at the 5-position of the lactam ring. N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) is a different vinyl lactam with a different CAS. Always put CAS 7529-16-0 on RFQs and POs.
What is the molecular formula and weight?
Listed values are molecular formula C6H9NO; molecular weight about 111.14 g/mol. Confirm on the batch COA/TDS.
Where is 5-Vinylpyrrolidone typically used?
Typical R&D uses include polymer / copolymer monomer supply, specialty materials screening, and impurity / related-compound reference work (including Vigabatrin Related Compound A catalog listings). Finished-product claims remain the customer’s responsibility.
