Imidazolones are a family of heterocyclic compounds, the parents of which have the formula OC(NH)2(CH)2. Two
isomer In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formulae – that is, same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. Isomerism is existence or possibility of isomers. ...
s are possible, depending on the location of the carbonyl (CO) group. The NH groups are nonadjacent. A common route to imidazol-2-ones involves condensation of ureas and acyloins. Some are of interest in the pharmaceuticals.{{cite journal, journal=Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, year=2015, volume=51, page=395–420 , title=Methods for the synthesis of 1-substituted 1H-imidazol-2(3H)-ones, first1=Maria M., last1=Antonova, first2=Vladimir V., last2=Baranov, first3=Angelina N., last3=Kravchenko, doi=10.1007/s10593-015-1716-3 4-Imidazolones arise from the condensation of
amidine Amidines are organic compounds with the functional group RC(NR)NR2, where the R groups can be the same or different. They are the imine derivatives of amides (RC(O)NR2). The simplest amidine is formamidine, HC(=NH)NH2. Examples of amidines inclu ...
