26-Dimethylpiperidines are chemical compounds with the formula C5H8(CH3)2NH. Two diastereomers exist: the achiral RS isomer and the chiral RR/SS enantiomeric pair. Dimethylpiperidines are derivatives of the heterocycle piperidine wherein two hydrogen atoms are replaced by methyl groups.The 26-dimethylpiperidines are prepared by reduction of 26-dimethylpyridine (26-lutidine). The RS isomer is favored.The 26-dimethylpiperidines are of interest for their conformational properties.
