SOLVED:One problem with reductive amination as a method of amine synthesis is that by-products are sometimes obtained. For example, reductive amination of benzaldehyde with methylamine leads to a mixture of N -methylbenzylamine and N -methyldibenzylamine. How do you suppose the tertiary amine by-product is formed? Propose a mechanism.
