Synthesis and reactions
It is prepared in low yield by the alkylation of ammonia 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]
