19.5 Imine and Enamine Formation | Addition of Amines | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson covering the formation of imines from the addition of primary amines to aldehydes and ketones and the formation of enamines from the addition of secondary amines. This includes showing how the formation of hydrazones and oximes is analogous to the formation of imines with the use of hydrazine or hydroxylamine instead of a primary amine. The full mechanisms for both reactions are included and you will also be shown how to easily predict the products in the reverse reactions, the hydrolysis of imines and enamines. Finally, the mechanism of the Wolff-Kishner reduction is included as well.

I've created an organic chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter - just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-organ...
