Ethyl Isonipecotate(CAT: R019227) is a piperidine-based ester with the molecular formula C₈H₁₅NO₂. It consists of a six-membered piperidine ring bearing a carboxylic acid ethyl ester at the 4-position. This compound appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in most organic solvents. Ethyl Isonipecotate is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of CNS-active agents, anesthetics, and antihistamines. Its piperidine core is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, and the ester functionality allows for versatile chemical modifications. It is also employed in agrochemical and fine chemical development.
