When aniline reacts with oil of bitter almonds $\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CHO}ight)$ condensation takes place and benza derivative is formed. This is known as
Million's base
Schiff's reagent
Schiff's base
Benedict's reagent
Solution
Benzaldehyde reacts with primary aromatic amine to form schiff's base $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{O}+\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{NC}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}$
$\begin{array}{lll}\text { Benzaldehyde } & \text { Aniline } & \text { Benzylidene aniline }\end{array}$
