Answer
What would happen if an acid catalyst were added at the beginning of the following reaction, instead of after the first reaction had occurred?
Answer: The amine would become protonated and lose its lone pair of electrons. It would no longer be a nucleophile and
no reaction would occur.
Note: Enamines are more stable than enols, though, as nitrogen is less
electronegative and less electron withdrawing than oxygen.
