Formation of enamines from ketones/aldehydes and secondary amines
Description: When ketones are treated with secondary amines and heated with an acid catalyst, a condensation reaction occurs, resulting in loss of H2O and formation of an enamine.

What is the mechanism for the reverse–hydrolysis of enamines?
Agreed. That’s the part I need is how you remove the enamine later.
Is there an H missing in HOSO3 at the end of the mechanism?
