1-(3-Chloropropyl)piperidine monohydrochloride
1-(3-Chloropropyl)piperidine monohydrochloride (CAS 5472-49-1; C8H16ClN·HCl; molar mass 198.13 g/mol) is a crystalline heterocyclic building block supplied at 97% assay. It is the hydrochloride salt of a piperidine bearing a reactive 3-chloropropyl side chain, combining a secondary alkyl chloride with a tertiary amine. This bifunctional reagent is used chiefly in chemical synthesis to install the 3-(piperidin-1-yl)propyl group, serving research and intermediate manufacture for pharmaceutical and fine-chemical applications.

Piperidine alkylating building block
The reactive 3-chloropropyl chain acts as a handle for N- and O-alkylation, allowing the 3-(piperidin-1-yl)propyl moiety to be appended to amines, phenols and other nucleophiles. This makes it a convenient three-carbon spacer in chemical synthesis.
Pharmaceutical intermediate
As a piperidine-containing fragment, it is employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and candidate molecules where a basic aminopropyl tether to a piperidine ring is required. We supply it for research and intermediate use only.
Heterocyclic and halogenated chemistry
Classified among halogenated heterocyclic building blocks, it provides both a saturated nitrogen heterocycle and a displaceable chloride, supporting nucleophilic substitution, cyclisation and side-chain elaboration routes.
Laboratory reagent and reference material
The defined 97% assay and stable hydrochloride salt form make it suitable as a reagent and characterisation reference in method development and process research.
