Piproctanyl bromide is commercially produced by a process that begins with 1-allyl-1-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)piperidine, which undergoes quaternization via reaction with hydrobromic acid or bromomethyl reagents in polar solvents like ethanol or acetonitrile, to yield the final active compound.

Inhibits elongation of internodes, and shortens and stiffens stems and peduncles. Does not readily translocate.
