Chapter 18: Q20. (page 945)

Propose a mechanism for the hydrolysis of benzaldehyde methyl imine just shown.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mechanism for hydrolysis is shown below.

Step by step solution

01

Formation of Imine

The formation of imine is a reversible process. Most imines can be hydrolysed back into the amines and aldehydes or ketones.The mechanism for the process of hydrolysis of imine is generally the reverse of the mechanism for its formation.

02

Mechanism for the hydrolysis of Benzaldehyde Methyl Imine

The hydrolysis of benzaldehyde methyl imine to benzaldehyde can be shown by the reaction as shown below.

In the absence of water, o-phthalaldehyde has the structure shown. Its strongest 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-1and no absorption in the C=0 region. Propose a structure of X consistent with this information and suggest how X was formed.

Two structures for the sugar glucose are shown on page 950. Interconversion of the open-chain and cyclic hemiacetal forms is catalyzed by either acid or base.

(a) Propose a mechanism for the cyclization, assuming a trace of acid is present.

(b) The cyclic hemiacetal is more stable than the open-chain form, so very little of the open-chain form is present at equilibrium. Will an aqueous solution of glucose reduce Tollens reagent and give a positive Tollens test? Explain.

Depending on the reaction conditions, two different imines of formula C8H9N might be formed by the reaction of benzaldehyde with methylamine. Explain, and give the structures of two imines.
