Abstract
N-tert-Butyl-1,2-diaminoethane was shown to react rapidly with atmospheric carbon dioxide to generate the zwitterionic ammonium carbamate salt CO2N(H)C2H4N(H)2tBu (1). Reaction of N-tert-butyl-1,2-diaminoethane with triethylorthoformate gave 1-tert-butyl-2-imidazoline (2) in 24% yield after fractional distillation, and the hydroxyalkyl-tethered imidazolinium salt [HOC(Me)2CH2NC2H4N(CH)tBu][Cl] (3) was synthesised from the sequential reaction of N-tert-butyl-1,2-diaminoethane with isobutylene epoxide, HCl, and triethylorthoformate.
N-tert-butyl-1,2-diaminoethane rapidly reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce a zwitterionic ammonium carbamate salt, and hydroxyalkyl-substituted imidazolinium salt.
