imine formation is an acid-catalyzed process, however the procedure performed in this does not require the addition of an extern
al acid. Suggest a viable source of acid in the reaction depicted.
1 answer:
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Reaction between p- toluidine and o- vaniline to form imine.This reaction does occur in the presence of a acidic source.
Here the -OH group in the o- vaniline is quite acidic so it acts a internal acidic catalyst. Hence the reaction occurred in the absence of any external acidic source.The reaction mechanism is given at the attached file.

We know that when calculating percent yield, we use the equation:
Since the quantities that we are given in the question are equal, we can just directly divide them to find percent yield:
So now we know that the percent yield of the synthesis is 87.27%.
