I don't think many people have really looked at either page that much since they've been written, so I'll just do it myself if I don't get any feedback about it in a week or so. Ghiles 08:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
(to the tune of "Oh, My Darling Clementine")
Oh, my ketone! Oh, my ketone! And my primary amine. You reacted, lost some water and You formed a new imine.
Now the lone pair on the N then Bonds with carbonyl C. Pi electrons go to O, a Proton shifts fast as can be.
Now the O is feeling greedy Grabs an H from OH3. Free electrons from the N then Form a pi bond, water leaves.
Now the N is protonated And a plus charge can be seen. So the water yanks the H off And we've formed a new imine.
Oh, my ketone! Oh, my ketone! And my primary amine. You reacted, lost some water and You formed a new imine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.32.155.203 (talk) 18:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I don't know how to change pictures for articles but the picture in this article is most definitely NOT an imine. It's a trisubstituted olefin. It doesn't even contain a nitrogen! Please change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.30.129.32 (talk) 20:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
"It may be regarded as an ammonia (NH3) molecule in which two hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a group" is not true. In ammonia, nitrogen has a sp3 hibridation. In imines, nitrogen has a sp2 hibridation. The structure of the nitrogen orbitals and, consequently, their space distribution, is not the same in both compounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.111.238.2 (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

@Smokefoot: I propose to merge Aldimine into Imine. The aldimine article is a stub, and has seen little to no significant editing since 2011. Aldimines are simply a subset of imines, and the ketimine article already redirects to this article. Very little from the aldimine article isn't already covered in the imine article, so this would almost be a straight redirect. I've added the appropriate templates on both pages concerned.

It turns out that aldimine comes in trans- and cis-forms, for instance when the substituents form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Who can add some sane information about this?
