Reaction of a series of diazonium salts with piperazine in a 2:1 molar ratio affords excellent yields of the 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines (3), which have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Structural characterization is supported by elemental analysis or by mass spectrometry with accurate mass measurement of the molecular ion. The protons of the piperazine ring hydrogens give rise to a sharp singlet at ca. 4 ppm in the NMR spectra, indicating that the conformational equilibrium in the piperazine ring is rapid on the NMR timescale. The four equivalent carbon atoms of the piperazine ring resonate in the range 46-48 ppm. A variable temperature NMR experiment suggests that there is restricted rotation around the N2-N3 bond of the triazene moiety in 3. The NMR data compares favorably with previous reported data for 1-aryldiazenyl-4-methylpiperazines (1) and 1,4-di-(2-aryldiazen-1-yl)homopiperazines (2b).
