Description: SI 421

Total Problems: 2


  1. Problem # 707

    The overall mechanism for imine formation is shown below. (This isn't a real mechanism, just an outline)

     

    Use curved arrows to draw the full mechanism for imine formation under acidic conditions. (I've added outlines of the intermediate structures for you to use as a guide). This mechanism is similar to that in problem 706 (carbonyl hydrate equilibria).

  2. Problem # 753

    Rank the amines W through Z below in order of decreasing basicity (1 = most basic). Explain your reasoning.
