2,2‐Diethyl‐4,5‐dimethyl‐2 H ‐imidazole 1 , formally a 1,4‐di‐azadiene, does not produce [4 + 2] cycloadducts with various electronically‐different dienophiles. In the presence of tri‐fluoroacetic acid, it tautomerizes to 2,2‐diethyl‐4‐methyl‐5‐methylene‐3‐imidazoline 2 and forms a dimer, the structure of which was determined by X‐ray crystallography.
