The reaction between (±)-trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and anthracene-9-carbaldehyde with a subsequent reduction of the condensation product gave N,N'-bis(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine. The interaction of this diamine with aldehydes was shown to produce octahydrobenz-imidazoles. The chemosensor properties of the obtained compounds were investigated, and a high affinity to Zn2+ cations was identified.
