Tetrahydropyridines (or piperideines) are heterocycles with the formula C5H9N. Three isomers exist, which differ by the location of the double bond. None of the parent species occur widely, so they are mainly of theoretical interest. Although the parent tetrahydropyridines are rare, many substituted tetrahydropyridines are known.
