Quinuclidine(CAS: 100-76-5)

Quinuclidine is a bicyclic amine with the chemical formula C7H13N. It is a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor. Quinuclidine has a range of applications including medicinal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and research due to its unique properties.

Quinuclidine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a precursor for the synthesis of various drugs, particularly those involved in the treatment of muscarinic receptor-related disorders. It is also used in research for studying muscarinic receptors and in the development of new compounds.

Quinuclidine can be hazardous if not handled properly. It is important to follow all safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, and to ensure proper ventilation. It is also advisable to avoid skin contact and inhalation of vapors. Storage should be in a secure, well-ventilated area, away from open flames and heat sources.

Quinuclidine should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent evaporation and contamination. The storage area should be well-ventilated to minimize the risk of inhalation and to prevent the formation of potentially explosive atmospheres.
