Aldehyde + primary amine $\to$ $rarr$ Schiff base + water

Explanation:

The Schiff base (or imine/aldimine) is the condensation product, and results from the attack of the nucleophilic amine function on the electrophilic carbonyl, i.e.:

$P h C H_{2} N H_{2} + H (O = C) {(C H_{2})}_{6} C H_{3} \to + (P h C H_{2} N = C H) {(C H_{2})}_{6} C H_{3} + H_{2} O$ $PhCH_2NH_2 + H(O=C)(CH_2)_6CH_3 rarr + (PhCH_2N=CH)(CH_2)_6CH_3+H_2O$

Is this equation balanced?

These reactions are usually very facile, but the products are thermally sensitive.
