Amines Are Known to Rapidly Undergo Pyramidal Inversion at Ordinary

question 11

Essay

Amines are known to rapidly undergo pyramidal inversion at ordinary temperatures,preventing the resolution of enantiomeric forms when the amine is a chirality center.The proposed transition state of the inversion process is shown below.Using an orbital diagram,illustrate the hybridization at nitrogen for this proposed transition state.
