What does IMINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
An organic chemical compound containing a carbon atom joined to a nitrogen atom by a double bond.
An imine forms when a primary or secondary amine reacts with an aldehyde or ketone and loses a molecule of water, leaving the characteristic carbon-nitrogen double bond in place of the original carbon-oxygen bond. Chemists use imines as intermediate compounds in many reactions, including the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen-containing molecules. Because the structure resembles a ketone with nitrogen substituted for oxygen, an imine is sometimes described informally as the nitrogen version of that kind of compound.
