Imine formation using an aldehyde/ketone and primary amine is acid - catalyzed, yet the rate drops below pH 4.5. Why does the rate drop below this pH?

Answer»

The CARBINOLAMINE intermediate is stable at LOW pH
The IMINE product is hydrolyzed at low pH
Protonation of the amine DECREASES its nucleophilicity
The amine is hydrolyzed at low pH
