The invention relates to an absorbent solution and to a method using this solution for removing acid compounds contained in a gaseous effluent, comprising water and at least one diamine with general formula (I) as follows: ##STR00001## wherein: radicals R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 are each selected indiscriminately among a methyl radical and a hydroxyethyl radical, and at least one radical among R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 is a methyl radical.

Disclosed herein are secondary amine compounds that inhibit tRNA synthetase. The compounds of the invention are useful in inhibiting tRNA synthetase in Gram-negative bacteria and are useful in killing Gram-negative bacteria. The secondary amine compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of tuberculosis.

The present invention provides methods of synthesizing (6S,15S)-3,8,13,18-tetraazaicosane-6,15-diol and salts thereof.
