How come the nitrogen further away from the carbonyl gets attached to the other carbonyl compound instead of the nitrogen closest to its carbonyl?

Know these:

1. Aldehyde or Ketone + primary amine = imine

2. Aldehyde or Ketone + secondary amine = enamine

Here you have an aldehyde + a primary amine resulting in an imine.

But couldn't the amine group next to the carbonyl become an imine?

Or wait is it because its an amide instead of an amine?

I don't have the 2011 destroyer so I don't know what the molecule looks like but if there are multiple amines, the one with the more available lone pair will be the one that reacts.

Yes, amides won't react with ketones/aldehydes.

okay.

btw thank you so much for your help PooyaH. You've been like my mentor for the past couple of weeks. 😀
