How Heptamethyleneimine (1121-92-2) is synthesized — and where to buy it
Heptamethyleneimine (azocane) is the eight-membered secondary cyclic amine — a medium-ring N-heterocycle used for N-functionalisation in medicinal-chemistry scaffolds. Medium-ring closures are classically low-yielding, which makes the ready amine the practical starting point.
