Description
2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine is a hindered base used to prepare metallo-amide bases and selective generation of silylketene acetals. It is used in the preparation of hibarimicinone, (Z)-silylketene acetal and 4-substituted quinazoline. It acts as a precursor to Lithium tetramethylpiperidide and (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl radical.
