Aniline cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.

Answer»

Solution :In Gabriel phthalimide synthesis of aniline, POTASSIUM phthalimide REQUIRES the treatment with CHLOROBENZENE or bromo-benzene. Sincearyl halides do not undergo NUCLEOPHILIC substitution reaction, chlorobenzene or BROMOBENZENE does not react with potassium phthalimide to give N-phenylphthalimide and hence aniline cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
