## Overview[edit | edit source]

Imidazoline is a nitrogen-containing heterocycle derived from imidazole. The ring contains an imine bond, and the carbons at the 4 and 5 positions are singly bonded, rather than doubly bonded for the case of imidazole. Imidazolines are structurally related to guanidines and amidines.

Chemical relationship of imidazole to its reduced derivatives.

Second generation Grubbs' catalyst

Like imidazole, imidazoline-based compounds have been used as N-heterocyclic carbene ligands on various transition metals. It is found in the commercially available second generation Grubbs' catalyst.

## Biological role[edit | edit source]

Many imidazolines are biologically active.[1] Most bio-active derivatives bear a substituent (aryl or alkyl group) on the carbon between the nitrogen centers. Some brand names include oxymetazoline, xylometazoline, tetrahydrozoline, and naphazoline.
