    Aniline reacts with which of these to form Schiff base?

    A) Acetic acid          

    B) Benzaldehyde

    C) Acetone                              

    D) \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Both aliphatic and aromatic primary amines react with aldehydes and ketones catalysed by an acid to form azomethines called Schiffs base or anils. \[\underset{p-a\min e}{\mathop{R-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,+\underset{Aldehyde}{\mathop{O=\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-R}}\,'\] \[\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}}R-N=\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,\underset{Schiffs\,base}{\mathop{-R'+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] (R = alkyl or aryl group ) \[RN-{{H}_{2}}+O=C\begin{matrix}    R  \\    R'  \\ \end{matrix}\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}}\] \[\underset{Schiff's\,base}{\mathop{R-N=C\begin{matrix}    R  \\    R  \\ \end{matrix}+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\]
