Q. Benzaldehyde reacts with methyl amine to give
A) $C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}$
B) $C_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}NH_{2}$
C) $C_{6}H_{5}CH = NCH_{3}$
D) $C_{6}H_{5}CONH_{2}$
Explanation
(c)
Benzaldehyde reacts with methyl amine to give Schiff’s base
$C_{6}H_{5} - CHO + H_{2}NCH_{3} \rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}CH = N.CH_{3} + H_{2}O$
Schiff’s base
