diamine
Two amino groups
A diamine is an organic compound containing two amino groups.
Diamines serve as building blocks in polymer chemistry, particularly in creating nylons and polyurethanes.
Common examples include ethylenediamine and hexamethylenediamine.
The term appears primarily in chemistry and materials science: The diamine reacted with the diacid to form a polyamide.
