In the title compound, C18H22N2, which possesses non-crystallographic inversion symmetry, the central piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The phenyl rings are not exactly parallel and make a dihedral angle of 1.3 (1)°. No significant intermolecular contacts are observed in the crystal.

To a solution of anhydrous piperazine (5 mmol, 0.43 g) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) was added 2.2 equivalents of triethylamine (1.5 ml), followed by benzyl bromide (10 mmol, 2.66 g) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml). After the mixture had been stirred for 10 min., the solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator. The solid residue was washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol-cyclohexane to give a colourless solid (76% yield). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq of the carrier atom.
The structural study of piperazine derivatives is of interest, because some piperazine-containing derivatives constitute a novel class of mixed D2/D4 receptor antagonists (Zhao et al., 2002), and disubstituted piperazine derivatives are antifilarial, antiamoebic and spermicidal agents (Sonurlikar et al., 1977). In addition, piperazine derivatives are useful precursors of mixed-ligand dithiolenes of interest for non-linear optics (Bigoli et al., 2001). Recently, many piperazine derivatives with various substituents have been synthesized (Zheng et al., 2005; Sarangarajan et al., 2005). Herein, we report the
of the title compound, (I).The geometry and labeling scheme of the title compound are depicted in Fig. 1, and the packing structure is given in Fig. 2. The piperazine ring exhibits a chair conformation with the usual bond lengths and angles (Yogavel et al., 2003), comparable with those of related reported structures (Gunasekaran et al., 1996; Thirumurugan et al., 1998).

The structural study of piperazine derivatives is of interest, because some piperazine-containing derivatives constitute a novel class of mixed D2/D4 receptor antagonists (Zhao et al., 2002), and disubstituted piperazine derivatives are antifilarial, antiamoebic and spermicidal agents (Sonurlikar et al., 1977). In addition, piperazine derivatives are useful precursors of mixed-ligand dithiolenes of interest for non-linear optics (Bigoli et al., 2001). Recently, many piperazine derivatives with various substituents have been synthesized (Zheng et al., 2005; Sarangarajan et al., 2005). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The geometry and labeling scheme of the title compound are depicted in Fig. 1, and the packing structure is given in Fig. 2. The piperazine ring exhibits a chair conformation with the usual bond lengths and angles (Yogavel et al., 2003), comparable with those of related reported structures (Gunasekaran et al., 1996; Thirumurugan et al., 1998).
