1-(3,4-Dimethylbenzyl)piperazin-2-one
1-(3,4-Dimethylbenzyl)piperazin-2-one (CAS 938458-92-5) is a substituted piperazin-2-one, with the molecular formula C13H18N2O and a molecular weight of 218.29 g/mol. It is a heterocyclic building block in which a 3,4-dimethylbenzyl group is attached to the N1 nitrogen of a 2-oxopiperazine (piperazinone) ring. Combining a lactam carbonyl with a free secondary amine, it serves chiefly as a versatile intermediate for medicinal chemistry and chemical synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade compound to laboratory and industrial users worldwide.

Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry intermediate
Used as a piperazinone building block in the synthesis of drug candidates and complex nitrogen-containing molecules. The 2-oxopiperazine scaffold is a recurrent motif in medicinal chemistry programmes.
Heterocyclic building block for synthesis
Functions as a C13 heterocyclic building block for constructing more elaborate piperazine and piperazinone derivatives. The pre-installed 3,4-dimethylbenzyl group allows chemists to elaborate the core in subsequent steps.
Scaffold for N-functionalisation
The free secondary amine (N4) of the ring provides a reactive site for acylation, alkylation, sulfonylation and reductive amination. This makes the compound a convenient handle for generating focused compound libraries.
Research and discovery chemistry
Suitable for exploratory and structure-activity studies in academic and industrial laboratories. It is offered for research and development use rather than as a finished pharmaceutical ingredient.
