CAS 101966-71-6

4-Piperidinemethanol, 1-(2-propenyl)-

Description:

4-Piperidinemethanol, 1-(2-propenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 101966-71-6, is an organic compound characterized by its piperidine ring structure, which is a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a propenyl group (-CH=CH2) attached to the piperidine nitrogen. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The compound exhibits basic properties due to the nitrogen atom in the piperidine ring, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and alkylation. Its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as derivatives of piperidine are often found in biologically active compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
