General description

Piperidine is a heterocyclic amine with a six-membered ring containing five methylene bridges (-CH2-) and one amine bridge (-NH-). Numerous alkaloids, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and synthetic and biological intermediates contain the piperidine moiety. The commercial applications of piperidine include: solvent for curing agents and epoxy resins. In organic synthesis, it serves as an intermediate.

Application

Piperidine is used:
  • As an organic structure-directing agent in the synthesis of titanoborosilicate precursor.
  • As stock solution with NMP (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone) to deprotect the Fmoc group in the preparation of N-methylated cyclic peptides.

Features and Benefits

Piperidine is more basic than pyridine and also a good nucleophile.
