4-chloropiperidine

4-Chloropiperidine (CAS No. 5382-18-3, molecular formula C5H10ClN, molecular weight 119.59 g/mol) is a versatile organic intermediate widely used in chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its reactive chloride functional group enables nucleophilic substitution and functionalization reactions, making it a key building block for piperidine-based drugs, including analgesics, antihistamines, antipsychotics, and other CNS-active compounds. It is also employed in heterocyclic synthesis, amination, and cyclization reactions, as well as in agrochemical development for insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In materials science, it can be used for functionalizing polymers and specialty monomers, while in research and development it serves as a scaffold for designing new bioactive molecules. Manufactured under strict quality control and supplied by trusted chemical suppliers, it is available in scalable quantities with certificates of analysis (CoA) and technical support for R&D, pilot, and commercial applications.
