Q. When aniline reacts with oil of bitter almonds $(C_6H_5CHO)$ condensation takes place and benzal derivative is formed. This is known as

Solution:

Benzaldehyde reacts with primary aromatic amines to form Schiff’s base. $\underset{\text{Benzaldehyde}}{C_6H_5CH = O } + \underset{\text{Aniline}}{ C_6H_5NH_2} \rightarrow \underset{\text{Schiff ’s base}}{ C_6H_5CH = NC_6H_5+H_2O }$
