1-Methylpiperazine is used in the preparation of 2-(4-methyl-1-piperazinylmethyl)acrylophenone. It is involved in the preparation of 1-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-methyl-piperazine by reacting with 1-chloro-4-methoxy-benzene. It acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients like ofloxacin, rifampicin, clozapine, sildenafil, trifluoperazine and zopiclone. Further, it is used as a mimic template in the preparation of molecularly imprinted microspheres. In addition to this, it is used in the generation of difunctional strong anion-exchange stationary phase from a 1,4-diazacyclohexane derivative.

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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
