4-(Difluoromethyl)piperidine(CAS: 760958-13-2)

4-(Difluoromethyl)piperidine is a cyclic amine compound with the chemical formula C6H9F2NO. It is colorless to white crystals with a melting point of 61-62°C. This compound is used in pharmaceuticals and as a precursor in organic synthesis.

4-(Difluoromethyl)piperidine is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly for the production of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. It also serves as a valuable reagent in organic chemistry for preparing various functionalized derivatives.

4-(Difluoromethyl)piperidine is generally safe when handled properly. However, it should be used in a well-ventilated area, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses should be worn. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust or fumes. Spills should be cleaned up with caution.

4-(Difluoromethyl)piperidine should be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-30°C) away from direct heat and light. Keep the storage area well-ventilated and protected from moisture to prevent degradation. Avoid storing it near incompatible materials such as strong acids or oxidizers.
