Diamine
Diamine
Diamine (pronounced: /daɪˈæmiːn/) is a type of amine with two amino groups. Diamines are used as monomers to prepare polyamides, polyimides, and polyureas. The term is also used more generally for any organic compound containing two basic nitrogen atoms.
Etymology
The term "diamine" is derived from the Greek words "di", meaning "two", and "amine", referring to a group of organic compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.
