Ph- OC XT :OH₂ Primary amines add to aldehydes and ketones to give imines. Imines are formed in a reversible, acid-catalyzed process that begins with nucleophilic addition of the primary amine to the carbonyl group, followed by transfer of the proton to yield a neutral carbinolamine. Protonation of the hydroxyl group converts it into a good leaving group and an E1-like loss of water yields an iminium ion. Deprotonation yields the product imine and regenerates the acid catalyst.
