A type of organic compound containing a six-membered aromatic ring with two nitrogen atoms at non-adjacent positions.
From 'di-' (two) and 'azine' or 'az-' (nitrogen), modern chemical nomenclature for heterocyclic compounds with two nitrogens.
Diazines and their relatives are building blocks for important medicines—the structure is so useful that pharmaceutical companies have built thousands of drugs around variations of this simple six-membered ring.
