The present 2-substituted imidazolines and 2-substituted-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines possess valuable anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory properties. The compounds are prepared by the condensation of an appropriately substituted nitrile with a diamine. For example, condensation of 2-pyridylbenzyl cyanide with 1,2-ethylene diamine or with 1,3-propylene diamine produces a 2-(2-pyridylbenzyl) imidazoline or a 2-(2-pyridylbenzyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine.
目前的2-取代
