Step 1
The reaction starts with Vanillin, which is an aromatic aldehyde. It reacts with p-Toluidine, an aromatic amine, to form an imine intermediate. This is a condensation reaction where a molecule of water is eliminated. Show more…

Fischer Esterification Alcohol reacts with carboxylic acid to form an ester in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction is known as Fischer Esterification. The mechanism involves the nucleophilic attack of the alcohol on the carbonyl carbon of the carboxylic acid, followed by protonation and elimination of water to form the ester. The reaction is reversible and can be driven towards the formation of the ester by removing water from the reaction mixture. The reaction is commonly used in organic synthesis to prepare esters for various applications.
