3-Piperidinemethanol,2-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-

Description:

3-Piperidinemethanol, 2-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-, identified by the CAS number 815631-78-8, is a chemical compound characterized by its piperidine ring structure, which is a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the piperidine, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. The presence of a 4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl group indicates that it has a fluorine atom and a methyl group on a phenyl ring, which can influence its biological activity and lipophilicity. The fluorine substitution often enhances the compound's metabolic stability and can affect its interaction with biological targets. This compound may exhibit properties relevant to medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, due to its potential interactions with various biological systems. Its specific applications and effects would depend on further studies, including pharmacological evaluations and structure-activity relationship analyses.
