•This is Addition-Elimination
•The first step is carbonyl addition of an amine, and the second step is a dehydration (elimination) to yield the C=N double bond.
•HA is the catalyst
•Step #1 is rate-determining, unless the amine is very basic (e.g., semicarbazide or aniline), in which case step #2 becomes rate-determining.

Lysine
If lysine is part of the protein chain of the enzyme, the terminal amino group is available to bind to carbonyl groups to form an imine.
WWU Chemistry
•Once the substrate (aldehyde or ketone) is bound to the enzyme, the active site of the enzyme is in a position to react with and modify the substrate.
•At the end of the reaction, because imines come apart easily (remember the “unfavorable” equilibrium?), the modified substrate can dissociate from the enzyme and return to the solution.
•As we can see, often biological substrates possess carbonyl groups so that they can act as a “handle” in enzyme-substrate binding. The carbonyl group may have no other chemical purpose than just this one!

WWU Chemistry
What’s a Derivative?• One of the principal tests for the correct
identification of an unknown compound comes in trying to convert the compound by a chemical reaction into another known compound -- a derivative
• If the melting point of the derivative matches the expected value, according to the literature, then one can assume that the original substance had been correctly identified.

As we have already seen, substituted amines can react with aldehydes and ketones to form a variety of products.

WWU Chemistry
The equilibrium for the formation of enamine is not favorable. It can be shifted to the right, however, by removing the water by azeotropic distillation as it is formed.
WWU Chemistry
The enamine is quite nucleophilic, owing to resonance of the type:

Typical Solvents
• Ylides are highly reactive with water, alcohols, acids, carbonyl compounds, and esters.
• So, the solvents must exclude these classes of compounds.
• That limits us to hydrocarbons (and perhaps ethers). Toluene and xylene are used frequently.
