==Recreational Use==
==Synthesis==
Dibenzylpiperazine has been used recreationally, often in combination with other piperazine derivatives such as [[benzylpiperazine]] (BZP) and [[trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine]] (TFMPP). These combinations are often sold as "party pills" or "legal highs". The effects of these pills can include euphoria, increased energy, and enhanced sensory perception.
The synthesis of dibenzylpiperazine typically involves the reaction of [[piperazine]] with benzyl chloride in the presence of a base. This reaction results in the substitution of hydrogen atoms on the nitrogen atoms of the piperazine ring with benzyl groups, forming dibenzylpiperazine.
