Lysidine (chemical)

Lysidine (chemical)

Lysidine is a derivative of 2-imidazoline. It is a colorless solid with basic properties and soluble in organic solvents. It is used as a precursor to other compounds of pharmaceutical interest.

Synthesis and reactions

It is prepared by condensing ethylenediamine with acetic acid to give the diamide, which undergoes CaO-induced cyclization. Lysidine is an intermediate in the synthesis of the drug metronidazole. In the presence of Raney nickel, it undergoes dehydrogenation to 2-methylimidazole, which can then be further elaborated.
