1-Formylpiperidine, 99%

Description

1-Formylpiperidine reacts with Grignard or alkyllithium reagents gives aldehydes in high yield. It can be used as a polar aprotic solvent, with better hydrocarbon solubility than other amide solvents such as dimethylformamide. In some formylation reaction of alkyllithium compounds it gives higher yields than the DMF.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
