What product is finally formed when the initial compound formed from cyclohexanone and piperidine is mixed with allyl chloride and that product is heated and then hydrolyzed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial compound formed from cyclohexanone and piperidine is a imine (II) as shown in the image.

When II is mixed with allyl chloride and heated, it undergoes nucleophilic substitution to form compound III, which is an N-allyl piperidine.

When III is hydrolyzed, it forms a carboxylic acid and an amine. In this case, the amine formed is piperidine and the carboxylic acid is allyl cyclohexyl carboxylic acid, as shown in compound C.

Therefore, the final product is C.
