Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The plausible reaction and mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of imine has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Imine formation:

Aldehyde or ketone reacts with a primary amine and forms imine in mildly acidic conditions.

Example for the formation of imine is shown here:
