Sigma-Aldrich Piperidine Reagentplus 99%

Piperidine can be prepared either by nickel catalyzed hydrogenation of pyridine or by cobalt catalyzed hydrogenolysis of tetrahydrofurylamine[1][2] It forms adducts with α,β,γ,δ-tetraphenylporphyriniron(II) and protoporphyriniron(II). Mossbauer spectra of these adducts have been evaluated.[3] It constitutes the skeleton of various alkaloids.[4] Its chemical reactivity has been discussed.[1]

Piperidine may be employed as protective and structure-directing agent in the post synthesis of MCM (Mobil Composition of Matter)-49 zeolites.[5]
