The term "imine" was coined in 1883 by the German chemist Albert Ladenburg. [6] Usually imines refer to compounds with the general formula R 2 C=NR, as discussed below. [7] In the older literature, imine refers to the aza-analogue of an epoxide. Thus, ethylenimine is the three-membered ring species aziridine C 2 H 4 NH. [8]
General structure of an imine. Schiff bases are imines in which R 3 is an alkyl or aryl group (not a hydrogen). R 1 and R 2 may be hydrogens General structure of an azomethine compound. In organic chemistry, a Schiff base (named after Hugo Schiff) is a compound with the general structure R 1 R 2 C=NR 3 (R 3 = alkyl or aryl, but not hydrogen).
In organic chemistry, an oxime is an organic compound belonging to the imines, with the general formula RR’C=N−OH, where R is an organic side-chain and R' may be hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. O-substituted oximes form a closely related family of compounds.
Ethanimine is an organonitrogen compound classified as an imine. It is formed by reacting acetaldehyde and ammonia, but rapidly polymerizes to acetaldehyde ammonia trimer. It has two tautomers: ethanimine, an imine, and ethenamine or aminoethylene, an amine. Ethanimine has two hydrogens on the carbon, while ethenamine has two on the nitrogen atom.
Acetone imine, or 2-propanimine is an organic compound and an imine with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CNH. It is a volatile and flammable liquid at room temperature. It is the simplest ketimine. This compound is mainly of academic interest.
The intermediate imine can be isolated or reacted in-situ with a suitable reducing agent (e.g., sodium borohydride) to produce the amine product. [2] Intramolecular reductive amination can also occur to afford a cyclic amine product if the amine and carbonyl are on the same molecule of starting material.
In organic chemistry, a semicarbazone is a derivative of imines formed by a condensation reaction between a ketone or aldehyde and semicarbazide. They are classified as imine derivatives because they are formed from the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with the terminal -NH 2 group of semicarbazide, which behaves very similarly to primary amines.
Methylene imine is an organic compound with the chemical formula H 2 C=NH. The simplest imine, it is a stable, colorless gas that has been detected throughout the universe. [1] Structural parameters determined by microwave spectroscopy include a C=N bond length of 1.27 Å, an N–H bond length of 1.02 Å and an H−N=C bond angle of 110.5°. [2]
