4-Piperidinol, 1-(2-methylpropyl)-

Description:

4-Piperidinol, 1-(2-methylpropyl)-, also known by its CAS number 79508-91-1, is an organic compound characterized by a piperidine ring with a hydroxyl group and a branched alkyl substituent. This compound features a piperidine structure, which is a six-membered ring containing five carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom, with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the fourth carbon. The 1-(2-methylpropyl) substituent indicates that there is a 2-methylpropyl group attached to the nitrogen of the piperidine ring, contributing to its overall hydrophobic character. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may exhibit a mild odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. 4-Piperidinol derivatives are of interest in medicinal chemistry for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly as intermediates in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
