The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

What functional group results when cyclopentanone reacts with ethylamine in the presence of trace acid? A) cyanohydrin B) semicarbazone C) imine D) enamine E) oxime

Answer:

imine

Explanation:

An imine is an unsaturated amine. An imine contains the carbon- nitrogen double bond.

Imines are obtained when a carbonyl compound is condensed with NH3 or an amine. The reaction involves several steps in its mechanism.

Since cyclopentanone is a ketone (carbonyl compound) and ethylamine is an amine,in the presence of trace acid, condensation of the two compounds occur to yield an imine
