Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given conversion has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Reaction of an ester with ammonia or an
Treatment of an ester with ammonia or a primary or secondary amine gives an amide.
The nucleophilic addition of the ammonia or amine to the carbonyl carbon occurs followed by a proton transfer and a tetrahedral addition intermediate is formed. The intermediate can directly alkoxide and lose a proton to the alkoxide to give products.

The mechanism for acidic hydrolysis of a nitrile resembles the basic hydrolysis, exceptthat the nitrile is first protonated, activating it toward attack by a weak nucleophile (water).Under acidic conditions, the proton transfer (tautomerism) involves protonation on nitrogen followed by deprotonation on oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzedhydrolysis of benzonitrile to benzamide.
Provide the steps to convert the following aldehyde to the given amine product.
Show how to synthesize the following amines from the indicated starting materials byacylation–reduction. b) N-benzylaniline from aniline
