4-(Phenylmethyl)-2-piperazineethanol

Description:

4-(Phenylmethyl)-2-piperazineethanol, identified by its CAS number 517866-77-2, is a chemical compound characterized by its piperazine core, which is a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms. This compound features a phenylmethyl group, which contributes to its lipophilicity and potential interactions with biological targets. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in the ethanol moiety enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its pharmacological properties. Typically, compounds of this nature are studied for their potential applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting the central nervous system or other therapeutic areas. The structural characteristics suggest that it may exhibit various biological activities, including potential anxiolytic or antidepressant effects, although specific biological data would be necessary to confirm these properties. As with many piperazine derivatives, the compound may also engage in hydrogen bonding and other intermolecular interactions, which can affect its reactivity and binding affinity to biological receptors.
