(a)
Interpretation:
The plausible mechanism should be drawn for the following transformation.
Concept Introduction:
Imine formation:
Imine formation is formed when any primary
It requires an acid catalyst for fast reaction; otherwise this reaction is very slow.
The acid is needed for elimination of water molecule.
Proceeds Imine formation through six steps:-
1) Nucleophilic attack
2) Proton transfer
3) Proton transfer
4) Proton transfer
5) Loss of leaving group
6) Proton transfer
The protonated amines are usually called as ammonium ion.
Imine is popularly known as Schiff base.
To Draw: The following transformation of the plausible mechanism
(b)
Interpretation:
The plausible mechanism should be drawn for the following transformation.
Concept Introduction:
Imine formation:
Imine formation is formed when any primary amine reacts with an aldehydes or ketone under appropriate condition.

- Hello, I am doing a court case analysis in my Analytical Chemistry course. The case is about a dog napping and my role is prosecution of the defendant. I am tasked in the Area of Expertise in Neutron Activation and Isotopic Analysis. Attached is the following case study reading of my area of expertise! The landscaping stone was not particularly distinctive in its decoration but matched both the color and pattern of the Fluential’s landscaping stone as well as the stone in the back of the recovered vehicle. Further analysis of the stone was done using a technique called instrumental neutron activation analysis. (Proceed to Neutron Activation data) Photo Notes: Landscaping stone recovered in vehicle. Stone at Fluential’s home is similar inappearance. Finally, the white paint on the brick was analyzed using stable isotope analysis. The brick recovered at the scene had smeared white paint on it. A couple of pieces of brick in the back of the car had white paint on them. They…arrow_forwardCite the stability criteria of an enamine..arrow_forwardCalculate the pH of a 0.01m solution of acetic acid use pka of 4.75arrow_forward
