It's not just imine formation?

Or that too, lol.  I suppose that is the simpler explanation.

Why it can't be nucleophilic substitution ?

Maybe it is a secondary way to form N-Methylaniline. What's your opinion ?

That's reductive amination... You need a reductant (like NaBH4) to get the amine.

Will imine formation take place? The lone pair on the nitrogen is delocalized in the ring. I say this because of the unreactivity of 'delocalized' nitrogen of semicarbazide during semicarbazone formation. Please correct me if i am wrong.
