Piperazine (/pˈpɛrəzn/) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2CH2NH)2. In term of its structure, it can be described as cyclohexane with the 1- and 4-CH2 groups replaced by NH.[3] Piperazine exists as deliquescent solid with a saline taste. Piperazine is freely soluble in water and ethylene glycol, but poorly soluble in diethyl ether. Piperazine is commonly available industrially is as the hexahydrate, (CH2CH2NH)2·6H2O, which melts at 44 °C and boils at 125–130 °C.[4]

Substituted derivatives of piperazine are a broad class of chemical compounds. Many piperazines have useful pharmacological properties, prominent examples include viagra, ciprofloxacin, and ziprasidone.[5][6]
