imidazolidine
Sign in to saveImidazolidine is a heterocyclic compound (CH2)2(NH)2CH2. The parent imidazolidine is lightly studied, but related compounds substituted on one or both nitrogen centers are more common. Generally, they are colorless, polar, basic compounds. Imidazolidines are cyclic 5-membered examples of the general class of aminals.

Imidazolidine is a heterocyclic compound (CH2)2(NH)2CH2. The parent imidazolidine is lightly studied, but related compounds substituted on one or both nitrogen centers are more common. Generally, they are colorless, polar, basic compounds. Imidazolidines are cyclic 5-membered examples of the general class of aminals.
==Preparation== Imidazolidines are traditionally prepared by condensation reaction of 1,2-diamines and aldehydes. Most commonly, one or both nitrogen center is substituted with an alkyl or benzyl (Bn) group: 500px|frameless|left The first unsubstituted imidazolidine synthesis was reported in 1952.
