Enamine Alkylation and Acylation
24. Enolate Chemistry: Reactions at the Alpha-Carbon / Enamine Alkylation and Acylation / Problem 1
Provide the mechanism for the hydrolysis of the iminium salt shown below to produce the ketone.

Hint: The process begins with water attacking, followed by the loss of a proton. Next, protonation occurs on the nitrogen, allowing the amine to leave and yield a protonated ketone.
