2-benzylpiperidine 2-benzylpiperidine 2-benzylpiperidine is a stimulant drug of the piperidine class. it is similar in structure to other drugs such as methylphenidate and desoxypipradrol but around one twentieth as potent, and while it boosts norepinephrine levels to around the same extent as d-amphetamine, it has very little effect on dopamine levels, with its binding affinity for the dopamine transporter around 175 times lower than for the noradrenaline transporter. 2-benzylpiperidine is little used as a stimulant, with its main use being as a synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of other drugs. 2-benzylpiperidineclinical dataroutes ofadministrationoralatc codenonelegal statuslegal status in general: uncontrolled identifiers iupac name 2-benzylpiperidine cas number32838-55-4pubchem cid118004chemspider105447 yecha infocard100.046.581 chemical and physical dataformulac12h17nmolar mass175.275 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles c1ccnc(c1)cc2=cc=cc=c2 inchi inchi=1s/c12h17n/c1-2-6-11(7-3-1)10-12-8-4-5-9-13-12/h1-3,6-7,12-13h,4-5,8-10h2 ykey:itxcorritgnihp-uhfffaoysa-n y (verify)
