摘要：1,2-Bis(p-methoxybenzylamino)ethane has been found to be a very satisfactory reagent for the characterization of aldehydes. Acetone is the only ketone found to react with this diamine. Twenty-tWe new solid derivatives of 1 ,2-bis(p-methoxybenzy1amino)ethane have been prepared. These compounds are 2-substituted-1 ,3-bis(p-methoxyhenzyl)tetrahydroimidazoles. 1 ,2-Bis(pmethoxybenzy1amino)ethane dihydrochloride has been synthesized by a new method. The aldehydes were regenerated in approximately quantitative yields by treatment of the tetrahydroimidazole with dilute hydrochloric acid.
