Applications
1-(2-Aminoethyl)piperidine is used in modification of vinylbenzyl chloride/divinylbenzene gel copolymer bead and in the synthesis of linkage isomers trans-bis[1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine]dinitronickel and trans-bis[1-(2-aminoethyl)-piperidine]dinitritonickel. It is also used as a reactant for synthesis of: analogs of anticancer agents, inhibitor of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light chain, P. falciparum malaria, and Ebola filovirus, cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonists, small molecules that restore E-cadherin expression and reduce invasion in colorectal carcinoma cells, potent and selective 5-HT6 antagonists and N-mustards as anticancer agents. 1-(2-Aminoethyl)piperidine on [1+1] condensation reaction with 3-methoxy salicylaldehyde yields tridentate Schiff base ligand.

Solubility
Partly miscible in water.

Notes
Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. It is sensitive to air.
