Chemistry:Lophine
From HandWiki
Lophine is the organic compound with the formula (C
6H
5C)
2N
2HCC
6H
5. It is a derivative of imidazole wherein all three carbon atoms have phenyl groups as substituents. A white solid, this compound gave the first example of chemiluminescence when its basic solutions were exposed to air.[1] Its chemiluminescence continues to attract attention.[2]
Lophine and its dihydro analogue amarine (meso-2,4,5-triphenyl-2-imidazoline[3]) were discovered early in the history of organic chemistry (between 1841 and 1847),[4] before the development of a structural theory of organic chemistry by Kekulé and Couper in the 1850s. Lophine is prepared by condensation of benzaldehyde, benzil, and ammonia.[5]
