What is the product when benzaldehyde reacts with a primary aromatic amine?

1. C6H5CH=O
2. C6H5NH2
3. C6H5CH=N
4. H2O

Correct answer: C6H5CH=N

Solution

Benzaldehyde (C6H5CH=O) reacts with a primary aromatic amine (C6H5NH2) to form a Schiff's base (C6H5CH=N) through a condensation reaction, where water (H2O) is eliminated.
