Abstract The formation constants of the Schiff bases of pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate with polyallylamine were determined over the p H range of the acetic‐acetate buffer (3.9–5.5) at an ionic strength of 0.1 M and a temperature of 25°C. The results were consistent with the rapid formation of an ionized carbinolamine, T + , followed by deprotonation, in the rate‐determining step, to a neutral carbinolamine, T °. Subsequent dehydration of T ° in a rapid step yields the final Schiff base. The formation of T + is a concerted process subject to specific acid catalysis. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
