1-Ethyl-4-piperidinol(CAS: 3518-83-0)

1-Ethyl-4-piperidinol (CAS: 3518-83-0) is a colorless, viscous liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 129.22 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents. This compound has a pKa of about 11.0 and is moderately reactive towards nucleophiles. It can form stable salts with acids.

1-Ethyl-4-piperidinol is typically synthesized via alkylation of 4-piperidone with ethyl iodide in the presence of a base such as potassium tert-butoxide. The reaction is carried out in anhydrous conditions to ensure optimal yield and selectivity.

1-Ethyl-4-piperidinol is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs, in the polymer industry for modifying polymer properties, and in the electronic industry for its use in sensors and as a semiconductor precursor.

When handling 1-Ethyl-4-piperidinol (CAS: 3518-83-0), safety goggles and gloves should be worn. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. In case of spill, use appropriate PPE and refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed spill management procedures.
