Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given conversion has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Reaction of an ester with ammonia or an
Treatment of an ester with ammonia or a primary or secondary amine gives an amide.
The nucleophilic addition of the ammonia or amine to the carbonyl carbon occurs followed by a proton transfer and a tetrahedral addition intermediate is formed. The intermediate can directly alkoxide and lose a proton to the alkoxide to give products.

The mechanism for acidic hydrolysis of a nitrile resembles the basic hydrolysis, exceptthat the nitrile is first protonated, activating it toward attack by a weak nucleophile (water).Under acidic conditions, the proton transfer (tautomerism) involves protonation on nitrogen followed by deprotonation on oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzedhydrolysis of benzonitrile to benzamide.
Show how to synthesize the following amines from the indicated starting materials byacylation–reduction. b) N-benzylaniline from aniline

A ketone can react with a secondary amine through a nucleophilic addition mechanism to give an imine product.
An ketone can react with a primary amine through a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism to give an enamine
product.
