1-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylpiperazin-2-one hydrochloride CAS:1803582-92-4

As a versatile building block, this molecule facilitates efficient synthesis of drug candidates and advanced materials. Additions to the carbonyl group introduce functional handles to systematically develop focused compound libraries. These enable exploration of structure-activity relationships applicable to diverse therapeutic areas. Additionally, the hydrochloride salt ensures solubility for biological screening and reactions in aqueous media. The heterocyclic scaffold also supports metal-catalyzed cross-couplings, generating valuable fragments. Furthermore, the piperazinone is suitable as a monomer for producing specialty polymers with tunable solubility, thermal stability and mechanical properties. Varying the substituents permits tailoring of material characteristics for specific applications. Being a basic heterocycle, this compound also enables assembly of agrochemical prototypes through derivatizations and condensations. The versatile reactivity from the carbonyl and piperazinone functionalities thus renders this salt a powerful synthon for drug development, agrochemical and functional polymer synthesis. In particular, the unique substitution pattern makes it widely applicable as a building block.
