What compound is formed if if acetone reacts with p amino phenol with base
Accepted Answer
The reaction of acetone with p-aminophenol in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate results in the formation of a Schiff base, also known as an imine. The reaction involves the condensation of the carbonyl group of acetone with the amino group of p-aminophenol, leading to the elimination of a molecule of water and the formation of a new C=N bond. The resulting Schiff base is typically a colored compound and can exist in either the E or Z isomeric form. The specific isomer formed depends on the reaction conditions and the substituents on the reactants.
