piperazine
Also known as Piperazidine, Diethylenediamine, Vermizine (tn), Piperazin, Hexahydropyrazine, 1,4-Diazinane
Piperazine () is an organic compound with the formula . In terms of its structure, it can be described as cyclohexane with the 1- and 4-CH2 groups replaced by NH. Piperazine exists as a 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 as the hexahydrate, , which melts at 44 °C and boils at 125–130 °C.
