Piperazine is an organic compound consisting of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms in opposite positions in the ring. The chemical formula of piperazine is C4H10N2, and it is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. Pyrimidines and piperazines are known to be the backbone of many bulk compounds and important core structures for approved drugs; studies have shown that combining a pyridine ring with a piperazine moiety within a single structural framework enhances biological activity.
Oxazolines are five-membered heterocyclic compounds with one double bond. The double bond may be in one of three positions, so there may be three different oxazoline rings. The 2-oxazoline structure is the most common, and 3-oxazoline and 4-oxazoline exist mainly as laboratory research compounds. Oxazolines exist between oxazole and oxazolidine in terms of saturation.
