Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question involves converting monoamines to aldehydes, which is an oxidation reaction. Therefore, the correct choice is C. A) condensation involves the joining of two or more molecules and is not relevant to the deactivation of monoamines. B) hydrolysis involves the breaking of chemical bonds by adding water and is also not relevant to this reaction. D) reduction involves the addition of electrons and would have the opposite effect of activating, rather than deactivating, the monoamines.
