1-(4-Aminobutyl)-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine
1-(4-Aminobutyl)-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (CAS 21103-33-3; molecular formula C15H25N3O; molar mass 263.38 g/mol) is a heterocyclic building block combining a 2-methoxyphenyl-substituted piperazine ring with a pendant primary aminobutyl chain. Supplied at ≥97.0% (HPLC), it is a difunctional intermediate used in research and chemical synthesis, where its reactive primary amine and arylpiperazine scaffold support amide coupling, reductive amination and the assembly of more complex piperazine-containing molecules.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a piperazine-based scaffold in multi-step organic synthesis. The 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine core is a well-established motif for constructing more elaborate nitrogen heterocycles.
Primary amine handle for derivatisation
The terminal aminobutyl group provides a reactive primary amine suitable for amide bond formation, reductive amination, sulfonylation and the introduction of further functionality onto the molecule.
Medicinal chemistry and discovery research
Arylpiperazine fragments of this type are widely used as intermediates in pharmaceutical discovery programmes. It is offered for laboratory and research use as a synthesis intermediate, not as a finished drug substance.
Reference and analytical use
The defined ≥97.0% (HPLC) assay makes it suitable as a characterised intermediate for method development and analytical comparison in synthetic laboratories.
