The literature reveals very few data on reactions between piperazine and aldehydes and this small amount of published work is somewhat contra- dictory. Experimental evidence has failed to establish a basis for predicting the type of compound expected when an aldehyde is con- densed with piperazine. In this investigation piperazine was condensed with formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butyralde- hyde, benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, p-tolylalde- hyde and o- ...
