narylimine

Narylimine is a term used in organic chemistry to describe a class of compounds that contain a carbon-nitrogen double bond, which is part of a ring structure. The term "narylimine" is derived from the prefix "nary," which refers to the number of carbon atoms in the ring, and "imine," which is the name for a compound containing a carbon-nitrogen double bond. Narylimines are a subclass of imines and are characterized by their cyclic structure, which can range from three to six carbon atoms. These compounds are often used in the synthesis of various organic molecules and have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. The synthesis of narylimines typically involves the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an amine, followed by cyclization. The properties of narylimines can be influenced by the number of carbon atoms in the ring and the substituents attached to the nitrogen atom.
