1,5-Diazacyclooctane is an organic compound with the formula (CH2CH2CH2NH)2. It is a colorless oil. 1,5-Diazacyclooctane is a cyclic diamine.[1]

Synthesis and reactions

[edit]

It is prepared in low yield by the alkylation of ammonia with 1,3-dibromopropane.[2]

The N-H centers can be replaced with many other groups. As a bis secondary amine, it condenses with aldehydes to give bicyclic derivatives.[3] When treated with transition metal salts, it serves as a chelating ligand.[1]
