On the Surface-Catalyzed Reaction between the Gases 2,2-Dimethylpropanal and Methanamine.Formation of Active-Site Imines

摘要

The reaction that occurs when vapors of 2,2-dimethylpropanal and methanamine are allowed to mix in an infrared gas cell has been examined.The disappearance of starting materials and formation of E-imine product,monitored simultaneously,is best fit by a process involving wall-associated water.The same or closely related processes have been successfully modeled;such processes may also be common to pyridoxal-catalyzed transamination and related reactions in biological systems.
