  • Applications

    Pipecolic acid, (+)- (CAS 1723-00-8) is used primarily as a synthetic intermediate and a chiral building block for incorporating the piperidine motif in pharmaceutical APIs; it serves as a precursor for piperidine-containing heterocycles and medicinal chemistry leads; it is also employed as a starting material in the synthesis of agrochemicals and as a tool in asymmetric synthesis to develop libraries of chiral compounds.
