Preparation of Niazol: The condensation and cyclization of ethylenediamine and α-naphthylacetic acid to get 2-(1-naphthylmethyl) imidazoline (C₁₄H₁₄N₂, [CAS NO.835-31-4]), and then salifing to obtain Niazol. Adding α-naphthylacetic acid and ethylenediamine into the reaction pot, stirring and heating to 120 °C for 1 hour, then heating to 130 °C for 1 hour. Distilling out ethylenediamine and water, collecting 180-240 °C (1.33-4 kPa) fractions to get 2-(1- naphthylmethyl) imidazoline. Then dissolved in the mixture of acetone and ethanol, leading to hydrogen chloride gas in the 10-12 °C to salify, then we can obtain Niazol crystals.
