The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds is an enamine, we first need to understand the structure of an enamine. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Enamines:** An enamine is a compound that contains a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) adjacent to a nitrogen atom that is bonded to a carbon atom (C-N). The general structure of an enamine can be represented as: \[ R_1C=C(R_2)N(R_3) \] where R1, R2, and R3 can be hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl groups. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** We need to examine each of the provided compounds to identify if they fit the structure of an enamine. 3. **Option 1:** - Check the structure: If there is a double bond between two carbons and a nitrogen atom is attached to one of those carbons with a single bond. - If the structure matches the enamine definition, then this option is an enamine. 4. **Option 2:** - Check the structure: If both carbon atoms are single-bonded and nitrogen is double-bonded to one of the carbons. - This does not fit the enamine definition. 5. **Option 3:** - Check the structure: If nitrogen is doubly bonded to carbon. - This does not fit the enamine definition. 6. **Conclusion:** After analyzing all options, we find that only the first option has the correct structure of an enamine, which consists of a C=C double bond adjacent to a C-N bond. ### Final Answer: The compound that is an enamine is **Option 1**.
