Addition of the amine is followed by a loss of
water (elimination).
Imines are compounds with a CN bond

These reactions do not favor the formation of the
imine unless
- the product is insoluble (crystallizes or
precipitates) or
- water is removed to drive the equilibrium
7Hydrolysis of Simple Imines
REVERSAL
In an excess of aqueous acid, simple imines
hydrolyze back to the aldehyde or ketone and the
amine from which they were orginally formed ..
H3O
Imines that are not soluble, however, are
difficult to hydrolyze.

CRYSTALLINE IMINES CAN BE USED AS DERIVATIVES
A derivative is a solid compound (formed from
the original compound) whose melting point can
help to identify the original compound.

32CHLORIDES, BROMIDES AND IODIDES
In SN2 reactions you learned the rate sequence
R-I gt R-Br gt R-Cl and that iodides are better
substrates than chlorides.
This is true.
Based on this knowledge ..
many students assume that if acid chlorides are
good the acid bromides and iodides must be
better.
However acid bromides and iodides are
difficult to prepare, and the iodides are quite
unstable
.. you should use the chlorides.
They are easily prepared from the acid by
R-COOH SOCl2

36FORMING RINGS
SOME GUIDELINES
37DILUTE SOLUTION AND EXACT STOICHIOMETRY FAVOR
RING FORMATION
Problem 16-18 in in your textbook.
pH 5
Excess formaldehyde (gt21) and a more
concentrated solution favor the diimime.
Also remember that unstrained 5- and 6-rings
form easily, other sizes are difficult.
11 molar ratio and dilute solution favor the
ring formation
In dilute solution the molecule is more likely to
react internally with itself because encounters
with other molecules will be less frequent.
38HINT ON THE MECHANISM ..
CN can undergo additions just like CO
Both are polar multiple bonds and both can
undergo acid- catalyzed nucleophilic addition.
