Question

Orgo II Tutorial: Imines & Enamines

Answer 1

\({\bf{Overview:}}\) aldehydes + ketones --> react w/ primary amines to make imines
aldehydtes + ketones --> react w/ secondary amines to make enamines

Answer 2

\({\bf{Imine~Formation:}}\)

Answer 3

this isn't directly related to imines and enamines, but there is a third reaction with a derivative of ammonia to produce hydrazone

an aldehyde or ketone will react with hydrazine (H2NNH2)

basically replaces the O on the C=O bond with an NNH2 group while releasing water



from there it can react w/ water + base in a process known as the wolff kischner reduction

Answer 4

Anyway, that's the end of my tutorial, I hope it was a helpful resource. Source material is Organic Chemistry 12th edition by Solomons, et. al.
