When aniline reacts with oil of bitter almonds (C6H5CHO), condensation takes place and benzal derivative is formed. This is known as

1. Million's base
2. Schiff's reagent
3. Schiff's base
4. Benedict's reagent

Correct answer: Schiff's base

Solution

The reaction between aniline and benzaldehyde (oil of bitter almonds) forms a condensation product known as a Schiff's base, which is a compound containing a C=N bond formed by the reaction of an amine with an aldehyde or ketone.
