Formation of C-N bonds

For reviews of reactions of carbonyl compounds leading to the formation of C=N bonds, see Dayagi, S. Degani, Y. in Patai The Chemistry of the Carbon-Nitrogen Double Bond Ref. 40, p. 64 Reeves, R.L. in Patai, Ref. 2, p. 600.

Formation of C—N bonds is frequently achieved by condensation reactions between amines and aldehydes or ketones. A typical nucleophilic addition is followed by elimination of water to give an imine or Schiff base [Figure 2.12(a)], Of almost equal importance is the reversal of this process, i.e. the hydrolysis of imines to amines and alde-hydes/ketones [Figure 2.12(b)], The imine so produced, or more likely its protonated form the...
