Triacetonamine is an organic compound with the formula OC(CH₂CMe₂)₂NH (where Me = CH₃). It is a colorless or white solid that melts near room temperature. The compound is an intermediate in the preparation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, a sterically hindered base and precursor to the reagent called TEMPO. Triacetonamine is formed by the poly-aldol condensation of acetone in the presence of ammonia and calcium chloride:^[1]

3 (CH₃)₂CO + NH₃ → OC(CH₂CMe₂)₂NH + 2 H₂O

Reductive amination of triacetonamine gives 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine.

It is primarily used as a stabilizer for plastics, typically via its conversion to number of hindered amine light stabilizers, but also finds use as a chemical feedstock. It is used to prepare the hindered amine 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, CH₂[CH₂C(CH₃)₂]₂NH,^[2] as well as the radical oxidizer 4-Hydroxy-TEMPO.^[3]
