Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structures of the aminal and the imine products formed in the given reactions are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxygen acquires a partial negative charge and creates a partial positive charge on carbon atom. Aldehydes and ketones easily undergo nucleophilic addition reactions in which the nucleophile attacks at the carbonyl carbon atom.
The chemical compounds that consist of a carbon-nitrogen double bond
