Aniline reacts with acetaldehyde to form :
Correct answer: A. Schiff's base
- A. Schiff's base
- B. Carbylamine
- C. Immine
- D. None of these
Explanation
A Schiff's base is a compound derived from the condensation reaction between an amine (such as aniline) and a carbonyl compound (such as acetaldehyde or an aldehyde or ketone). The general structure of a Schiff's base is R1R2C=NR3, where R1, R2, and R3 can be various organic groups. In this case, when aniline (C6H5NH2) reacts with acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), they undergo a condensation reaction to form a Schiff's base: C6H5NH2 + CH3CHO --> C6H5CH=NC(CH3)OH

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
