1-Boc-4-piperidone (CAS: 79099-07-3) is a protected piperidone derivative commonly used as an intermediate in organic and medicinal chemistry.

It features a piperidone ring with a Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) protecting group on the nitrogen, which makes it useful for controlled synthesis of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds, especially in pharmaceutical research and API development.
