Piperidine

Piperidine (CAS 110-89-4), also abbreviated as PIP, is a saturated six-membered nitrogen heterocycle used as a chemical building block and catalyst.

Where is Piperidine used?

• Pharmaceutical synthesis: core structural unit in active ingredients such as analgesics, antihistamines and CNS drugs
• Agrochemicals: intermediate in fungicides and insecticides
• Rubber and polymers: vulcanization accelerator and polymerization initiator influencing cure rates
• Base catalyst in condensation reactions and resin systems, including solid-phase synthesis supports
• Its secondary amine functionality makes it a reactive intermediate for constructing complex molecules and initiating polymerization.

Good to know: Pharmaceutical-grade material typically meets USP or Ph. Eur. specifications. Buyers should confirm purity levels and residual solvent compliance based on the intended end-use application.

Commercial specifications

• Technical and pharmaceutical grades
• Standard commercial packaging ranges from drums to ISO tank containers
