Piperidine is an

Piper, which is the Latin word for pepper.[7] Although piperidine is a common organic compound, it is best known as a representative structure element within many pharmaceuticals and alkaloids, such as natural-occurring solenopsins.[8]

Production

Piperidine was first reported in 1850 by the Scottish chemist Thomas Anderson and again, independently, in 1852 by the French chemist Auguste Cahours, who named it.[9][10][11] Both of them obtained piperidine by reacting piperine with nitric acid.

Industrially, piperidine is produced by the hydrogenation of pyridine, usually over a molybdenum disulfide catalyst:[12]

C5H5N + 3 H2 → C5H10NH

Pyridine can also be reduced to piperidine via a modified Birch reduction using sodium in ethanol.[13]

Natural occurrence of piperidine and derivatives

Piperidine itself has been obtained from black pepper,[14][15] from Psilocaulon absimile (Aizoaceae),[16] and in Petrosimonia monandra.[17]

The piperidine structural motif is present in numerous natural

poison hemlock, which was used to put Socrates to death.[19]

Conformation

Piperidine prefers a

ring inversion.[22] In the case of N-methylpiperidine, the equatorial conformation is preferred by 3.16 kcal/mol,[20] which is much larger than the preference in methylcyclohexane
, 1.74 kcal/mol.

Reactions

Piperidine is widely used to convert ketones to enamines.[23] Enamines derived from piperidine are substrates in the Stork enamine alkylation reaction.[24]

Upon treatment with

chloramine with the formula C5H10NCl. The resulting chloramine undergoes dehydrohalogenation to afford the cyclic imine.[25]

Uses

organic solvents
.

A significant industrial application of piperidine is for the production of dipiperidinyl dithiuram tetrasulfide, which is used as an accelerator of the sulfur vulcanization of rubber.[12]

List of piperidine medications

Minoxidil is a piperidine derivative widely used to prevent hair loss.

Piperidine and its derivatives are ubiquitous building blocks in pharmaceuticals[26] and fine chemicals. The piperidine structure is found in, for example:

Piperidine is also commonly used in chemical degradation reactions, such as the sequencing of

Fmoc-amino acids used in solid-phase peptide synthesis
.

Piperidine is listed as a Table II precursor under the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances due to its use (peaking in the 1970s) in the clandestine manufacture of phencyclidine.[27]
