2266-Tetramethylpiperidine or TMP or HTMP is an organic compound of the amine class. In appearance it is a colorless liquid and has a fishy amine-like odor. This amine is used in chemistry as a hindered base (hindered amine) because it can dissolve in organic solvents unlike inorganic bases such as potassium hydroxide.There are many ways to synthesise TMP. One recent method starts with a conjugate addition reaction of ammonia to phorone.
