Aldehyde Adducts

Many aldehydes are highly reaction compounds. Some aldehydes are able to form adducts with amides or amines at room temperature without the need for a catalyst.


Amine Adducts

Catalyst Free Adduct Formation

The following aldehyde adducts are some examples of adducts of alkaloids/amines that form without the need for a catalyst. Click their individual article links for more details.

Adduct Aldehyde Amine
N-Benzylidene-N-phenethylamine Benzaldehyde phenylethylamine
AC1MSDH8 Cinnamaldehyde Dapsone
1'-(Glutathion-S-yl)-Dihydrocinnamaldehyde Cinnamaldehyde Glutathione

Amide Adducts

Catalyst Free Adduct Formation

The following aldehyde adducts are some examples of adducts of amides that form without the need for a catalyst. Click their individual article links for more details.

Adduct Aldehyde Amide
Cinnamylidene-bisphenylacetamide Cinnamaldehyde Phenylacetamide
Cinnamylidene-bisacetamide Cinnamaldehyde Acetamide

Other Adducts

Anecdotal reports indicate that these adducts form in acidic conditions. Scientific evidence for the actual conditions needed leading to their formation is currently lacking.
