1. Introduction. Let F be a number field and O F the ring of its integers. Many results are known about the group K ₂ O F , the tame kernel of F. In particular, many authors have investigated the 2-Sylow subgroup of K ₂ O F . As compared with real quadratic fields, the 2-Sylow subgroups of K ₂ O F for imaginary quadratic fields F are more difficult to deal with. The objective of this paper is to prove a few theorems on the structure of the 2-Sylow subgroups of K ₂ O F for imaginary quadratic fields F. In our Ph.D. thesis (see [11]), we develop a method to determine the structure of the 2-Sylow subgroups of K ₂ O F for real quadratic fields F. The present paper is motivated by some ideas in the above thesis.
