Other reagents can add as well. One group of compounds that adds is amines, substituted ammonia molecules with the general formula RNH₂. The reaction mechanism is very similar to those shown
for the addition of H₂O or alcohols. It is acid catalyzed. The first step of the mechanism generates a carbocation. This reacts with the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen in the amine. The unstable
product of this step is stabilized by the loss of an equivalent of water from the molecule, to form a Schiff base as shown below.
