Concept explainers
Interpretation: The correct sequence of three consecutive steps which constitutes the hydrolysis of an imine/iminium has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are the molecules containing an
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the key elements in amino acid.
General structure of an amino acid can be drawn as follows,
The transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to a ketoacid with the formation of a new amino acid and a new keto acid is known as transamination reaction.
This reaction is catalysed by a group of enzymes called transaminases or aminotransferases. PLP- Pyridoxalphosphate acts as co-factor in this reaction.
Imines can be obtained by the reaction of an
Simple imines hydrolyze back to the aldehyde or ketone and the amine from which they are originally formed.
Iminium ions on hydrolysis give corresponding amine and ketoacid.

- 13*32 Black-and-white photography is a commercial process that involves a phenol. Black-and-white film is coated with an emulsion containing silver bromide or silver iodide crystals that become activated by exposure to light. The activated silver ions then react with hydroquinone in the developing stage as shown in the following balanced equation. All silver halide not activated by light is removed in the fixing process, and the result is a black image (a negative) left by the deposited metallic silver where the film had been struck by fight.
