Piperidine is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH2)5NH. This heterocyclic amine consists of a six-membered ring containing five methylene units and one nitrogen atom. It is a colorless fuming liquid with an odor described as ammoniacal, pepper-likehe name comes from the genus name Piper, which is the Latin word for pepper.Piperidine is a widely used building block and chemical reagent in the synthesis of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals.

a colorless, liquid hydrocarbon, (CH)NH, found in many alkaloids and obtained by reducing pyridine or by treating piperine with alkali: used in making rubber, oils, fuels, etc.

Production
Industrially, piperidine is produced by the hydrogenation of pyridine, usually over a molybdenum sulfide catalyst.

Uses
Piperidine is used as a solvent and as a base. The same is true for certain derivatives: N-formylpiperidine is a polar aprotic solvent with better hydrocarbon solubility than other amide solvents, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine is highly sterically hindered base, useful because of its low nucleophilicity and high solubility in organic solvents.

Reactions
Piperidine is a widely used secondary amine. It is widely used to convert ketones to enamines
Enamines derived from piperidine can be used in the Stork enamine alkylation reaction.Piperidine can be converted to the chloramine C5H10NCl with calcium hypochlorite. The resulting chloramine undergoes dehydrohalogenation to afford the cyclic imine.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Piperidine, hexahydropyridine, is a family of heterocyclic organic compound derived from pyridine through hydrogenation. It has one nitrogen atom in the cycle. It is a clear liquid with pepper-like aroma. It boils at 106 C, soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. The major application of piperidine is for the production of dipiperidinyl dithium tetrasulfide used as a rubber vulcanization accelerator. In pharmaceutical synthesis industry, it is a skeleton in some drugs such as methylphenidate (central nervous system stimulant), budipine (antiparkinsonian drug) raloxifene (selective estrogen receptor modulator), minoxidil (an oral drug to treat high blood pressure). It is used as a special solvent in solid phase synthesis and a protecting group for peptide synthesis. Piperidine derivative compounds are used as intermediate to make crystal derivative of aromatic nitrogen compounds containing nuclear halogen atoms. Ring system compounds with nitrogen which have basic property playing important roles as cyclic component in industrial field such as raw materials for hardener of epoxy resins, corrosion inhibitors, insecticides, accelerators for rubber, urethane catalysts, antioxidants and as a catalyst for silicone esters. They are used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals. Piperidine is listed as a Table II precursor under the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances.
