Abstract

Reaction pass of noncatalytic formation of carbinolamines from amines (NH3, MeNH2, Me2NH, NH2NH2, NH2OH, NH2CHO) and formaldehyde by means of MINDO/3 semi-empirical MO method has been studied. The reaction is ascertained to proceed in two stages and at first, gives an energetically unfavourable, as compared to the starting agents, adduct {A figure is presented}, whose stability depends strongly on the effect of substitutent at the N atom. The second step is isomerization {A figure is presented} occurring by way of intramolecular proton transfer. The issue of rate-determining reaction stage is discussed.
