Step by step solution

01

Imines

Ammonia or primary amine under proper conditions reacts with a ketone or an aldehyde to form an imine.

02

Mechanism of imine formation

The mechanism of imine formation is a type of acid catalyzed nucleophlic addition of an amine to the carbonyl group.The fist step is the attack of an amine to an aldehyde or ketone which is followed by deprotonation of the nirogen atom that gives an unstable intermediate known as the carbinolamine. Second step is the conversion of carbinolamine to imine by loss of a water molecule. The formation of imine is a reversible process and most imines can be hydrolysed back into the amines and aldehydes or ketones.

Assume you are a research physiologist trying to unravel a serious metabolic disorder. You have fed your lab animal Igor a deuterium-labelled substrate and now need to analyze the urinary metabolites. Show how you would differentiate these four deuterated aldehydes using mass spectrometry. Remember that deuterium has mass 2.

In the absence of water, ophthalaldehyde has the structure shown. Its strong IR absorption is at 1687 cm-1; the proton NMR data are shown by the structure. In the presence of water, a new compound is formed that has a strong IR absorption around 3400 cm-1 and no absortion in the C=0 region. propose a structure of X consistent with this information and suggest how X consistent with this information and suggest how X was formed.

Within each set of structures, indicate which will react fastest, and which slowest, toward nucleophilic addition in basic conditions.
