Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given set of organic molecules amine-imine tautomerism and plausible mechanism should be draw identified. In presence of acidic conditions method.

Concept Introduction:

Acid-Base Reaction: This type of chemical process typified by the exchange of one or more hydrogens ions H⁺, between species that may be neutral molecules or electrically charged ions.

Tautomerism: The two isomer of compound which differ only in the position of the protons and electrons. In the carbon skeleton of the compound is unchanged, a reaction which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion it is called a tautomerism.

Amine-Imine Tautomerism: This is referring to a chemical equilibrium between an amine ( $1^0,2,3$ amines) form and an imine (an enamine, ketamine). The amine and imine forms are said to be tautomer’s of each other.
