abstract: The products of hydrolysis of tetrahydrozoline [2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-2-imidazoline] have been isolated by thin-layer chromatography and identified by ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopic analysis. Their structure has been well established by use of mass spectrometry and a degradation scheme advanced. Alkaline hydrolysis opens the imidazoline ring to give an amide compound which undergoes further hydrolysis, in acid solution, to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthoic acid and ethyl-enediamine.
