The formation of this Mannich base is The Mannich reaction is an organic an organic reaction which consists of amino reaction which consists of an amino alkylation of an acidic proton placed next to a alkylation of an acidic proton placed next to carbonyl group by formaldehyde and a primary a carbonyl functional group by or secondary amine, and then the final product formed is a β-amino-carbonyl compound known formaldehyde and a primary or secondary as Mannich base. Here we have taken p- amine or ammonia. The final product is a β- chlorobenzaldehyde in place of formaldehyde amino-carbonyl compound also known as a and p-toluidine as an amine. This reaction is Mannich base. Reactions between aldimines known as Mannich reaction.

The Mannich-Reaction is employed in the organic synthesis of natural compounds such as peptides, nucleotide, antibiotics, and alkaloids (e.g. tropinone). Other applications are in agro chemicals such as plant The Mannich reaction is an example growth regulators, paint- and polymer of nucleophilic addition of an amine to a chemistry. As the formed compound was carbonyl group followed by dehydration to biologically active so it can be used as a the Schiff base. The Schiff base is an pharmaceutical product also.

It is also possible to use activated phenyl groups and electron- rich heterocycles such as furan, pyrrole, and thiophene. Indole is a particularly active substrate; the reaction provides gramine derivatives. Step 2: Addition of imine salt to ketone Mechanism of the Mannich Reaction: The Mannich products can be converted to enones. Enones such as that shown below, with two hydrogen atoms at the end of the double bond are called exo- methylene compounds.

Mannich Base Ketonic amines prepared from the condensation of a ketone with formaldehyde and ammonia or a primary or secondary amine. A Mannich base can act as the equivalent of an α, β unsaturated ketone in Example of a Mannich reaction: synthesis or can be reduced to form This is a typical example of a physiologically active amino alcohols. Mannich reaction. It involves an enolizable aldehyde or ketone, a secondary amine, formaldehyde as its aqueous solution, and catalytic HCl. The product is an amino- ketone from the addition of one molecule each of formaldehyde and the amine to the ketone. Reactivity: With primary or secondary amines, Mannich bases react with additional aldehyde and carbon acid to larger adducts HN(CH2CH2COR)2 & HN(CH2CH2COR)2. With multiple acidic hydrogen atoms on the carbon acid higher adducts are also possible.
