para-Chlorophenylpiperazine (pCPP) is a psychoactive drug of the phenylpiperazine class. [1] It is relatively obscure, with limited human use, and produces slightly psychedelic effects.[ citation needed] It has been encountered in illicit capsules as a recreational drug similarly to other piperazines like mCPP. [1] Scientific research has demonstrated pCPP to have serotonergic effects, likely acting as a non- selective serotonin receptor agonist and/or releasing agent. [2] [3]

A known use has been in the synthesis of L-745,870.
