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

It is prepared in low yield by the alkylation of hydrazine 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]
