Reaction of cyclohexanone with dimethylamine in the presence of catalytic amount of an acid forms a compound if water during the reaction is continuously removed. The compound formed is generally known as:

  1. A
    a Schiff's base
  2. B
    an enamine
  3. C
    an imine
  4. D
    an amine

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Primary amines react with carbonyls to form Imines (Schiff's bases).Secondary amines (like dimethylamine) react with carbonyls containing -hydrogens to form Enamines.
