Chemistry Heterocyclic Building Blocks Imidazolidines
While the parent imidazolidine compound, which has the chemical formula (CH2)2(NH)2CH2, has been subject to limited research, its derivatives substituted on one or both nitrogen centers are more frequently studied.
Imidazolidines that are unsubstituted tend to be unstable, as the rings are vulnerable to hydrolysis, leading to the formation of the diamine and the aldehyde.
Formally derived from the addition of four hydrogen atoms to imidazole, this compound is classified as a diamine. Imidazoline, also known as dihydroimidazole, is the intermediate resulting from the addition of only two hydrogen atoms.
The presence of substituents determines whether Imidazolidines are found in a solid or liquid state. Although they are readily soluble in organic solvents, they are insoluble in water.
Imidazolidine, also known as cyclic aminal, is a saturated heterocycle with a five-membered ring and two nitrogen atoms located at the 1,3-positions. This nonplanar and nonaromatic compound is sometimes referred to as methylene-bridged ethylenediamine and serves as a secondary amine.
