product Description
(2S)-tert-Butyl 3-Cyano-2-Methyl-4-Oxopiperidine-1-Carboxylate (molecular formula: C₁₂H₁₈N₂O₃) is a high-value chiral heterocyclic pharmaceutical intermediate with a stable piperidine ring, a privileged structure in drug R&D for its good chemical stability and spatial configuration. Its unique (S)-chiral configuration and cyano, methyl, ketone, and Boc-protecting groups make it a reliable core building block, supporting synthesis of high-performance drugs like Orforglipron (an emerging GLP-1 drug) and ensuring target product efficacy and safety.

Physicochemically, it is a white to off-white crystalline powder with stable performance, melting at 97-99°C and a predicted density of 1.15±0.1 g/cm³. Slightly soluble in polar organic solvents (chloroform, DMSO, methanol), it fits mainstream pharmaceutical synthesis. Its structural design enhances reaction compatibility, laying a solid foundation for subsequent drug synthesis modification.
It complies with pharmaceutical-grade QC standards, with high purity, excellent chiral purity, and strict control of heavy metals/impurities. Tested by HPLC for batch consistency and purified via mature processes, it meets large-scale pharmaceutical production requirements, reducing customer production risks and costs.
Hygroscopic and easy to store/transport, it requires hermetic packaging in pharmaceutical-grade leak-proof containers, stored at 2-8℃ in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment. Kept away from moisture, heat, strong light, oxidants and acids/alkalis, it can be nitrogen-protected or paired with desiccants to prevent decomposition/racemization.
Widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, it is a key chiral intermediate for heterocyclic drugs (CNS, analgesics, antibacterials) and high-demand oral small-molecule GLP-1 agonists like Orforglipron (for diabetes/obesity). Its stable structure and versatile groups match Orforglipron’s molecular construction needs, simplifying synthesis and boosting yield. It is a high-potential choice for enterprises pursuing efficient, high-quality new drug R&D and bulk production amid booming GLP-1 demand.
