Reaction of primary amines with aldehyde yields

A

Amides

B

Aldimines

C

Nitriles

D

Nitro compounds

Answer

Aldimines

Explanation

Solution

R−CH2−NH21oamine+O=CH−Raldehyde→\underset{1^{o}\text{amine}}{R - CH_{2} - NH_{2}} + O = \underset{\text{aldehyde}}{CH - R} \rightarrow

R−CH2−N=CH−RAldimine+H2O\underset{\text{Aldimine}}{R - CH_{2} - N = CH - R} + H_{2}O
