Best Answer

Reaction of camphor with an aromatic amine can be achieved using 10% zinc chloride as a catalyst in a suitable organic solvent under reflux conditions.

See "Preparation and reduction of camphor imines" - Bolton, Danks & Paul. Dept of Chem, University of Surrey, 1994.

The abstract of the paper does not identify which solvent is used, reflux time or product yield.

What is the geometric shape of NH2?

If you are referring to a primary amine (RNH2), the shape of the amine part is pyramidal, unless the R group is aromatic (such as phenylamine), in which case the amine part is planar. If you are referring to the Schiff base (RNH2+), the amine component is also planar. If you are referring to the amide ion (NH2-), this has two lone pairs and is a bent molecule just like water.

Why methyl amine is a stronger base than ammonia?

Because methyl is an electron pumping group and It pumps electrons to Amine group to make it basic, But Ammonia has no influence from any basic groups. Therefore compared to Methyl-Amine, Ammonia is less basic
