4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine（Cat No.:L028586）is a six-membered saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycle featuring a chlorine atom at the 4-position and a methyl group on the nitrogen (1-position). This compound is a versatile synthetic intermediate in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The chlorine substituent allows for further functionalization via nucleophilic substitution, enabling attachment of various electrophilic or nucleophilic groups. The N-methylpiperidine scaffold imparts lipophilicity and basicity, making it a common motif in drug discovery for enhancing bioavailability and receptor binding. It is often used in the synthesis of CNS-active agents and enzyme inhibitors.
