4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride (1:1)(CAS: 5382-23-0)

4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride (CAS: 5382-23-0) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 198.57 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 15 g/L in water and is highly soluble in organic solvents like ethanol. It is stable under normal conditions but may react with strong bases to form 4-chloro-1-methylpiperidine.

4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride is typically synthesized by the reaction of 1-methylpiperidine with chlorine gas in the presence of a catalyst such as phosphoric acid. The yield is around 85%, and the product is isolated by recrystallization from water or ethanol.

4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride (CAS: 5382-23-0) is used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various drugs. It is also used in the polymer industry as a monomer for the production of certain polymers, and in the sensor industry for the development of chemical sensors.

When handling 4-Chloro-1-methylpiperidine hydrochloride (CAS: 5382-23-0), it is crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. In case of a spill, neutralize with a base and dispose of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling information.
