Methyl isonipecotate

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

Methyl isonipecotate may be used for the synthesis of a series of potent non-urea soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors via high throughput screens.

Uses

4-Piperidinecarboxylic acid methyl ester is a an ester derivative of 4-piperidinecarboxylic acid used as a reagent in the organic synthesis of neurochemicals, antibacterials and other biologically active compounds.

Uses

Methyl piperidine-4-carboxylate is a reactant for C-2 arylation of piperidines through directed transition metal-catalyzed sp3 C-H activation. It is used as a reactant for synthesis of antitubercular agents, aminopyrazine inhibitors, orally available naphthyridine protein kinase D inhibitors and a scalable catalyst from asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically demanding aryl enamide.

General Description

Methyl isonipecotate can be obtained by the reduction of methyl isonicotinate in methanol with ruthenium at 100-150°C.
