Pyrroline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyrrolines, also known under the name dihydropyrroles, are three different heterocyclic organic chemical compounds which differ in the position of the double bond. Pyrrolines are formally derived from the aromate pyrrole by hydrogenation. 1-Pyrroline is a cyclic imine while 2-pyrroline and 3-pyrroline are cyclic amines.
