1-(2-Piperidin-2-ylethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one
1-(2-Piperidin-2-ylethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (CAS 876710-79-1) is a bifunctional heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C11H20N2O and a molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol. The molecule pairs a saturated piperidine ring with a 2-pyrrolidinone (lactam) unit joined by an ethylene linker, giving a secondary amine and an amide handle for onward chemistry. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate for medicinal chemistry and fine-chemical synthesis.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a saturated piperidine and pyrrolidinone scaffold for assembling more elaborate nitrogen-containing molecules. The combination of two ring systems on a short tether makes it a useful core in discovery chemistry.
Medicinal chemistry intermediate
The free secondary amine on the piperidine ring offers a convenient point for acylation, alkylation, reductive amination and related functionalisation when constructing candidate compounds and analogue libraries.
Pharmaceutical research and development
Used at laboratory and process-research scale as a precursor in synthetic routes toward piperidine- and lactam-bearing targets. It is offered for research and manufacturing use, not for direct therapeutic application.
Custom and contract synthesis
Suited to multi-step sequences where a pre-formed piperidine-pyrrolidinone fragment shortens the route. Tech Serve Solutions can support recurring or scale-up requirements subject to availability.
