Aromatic primary amines are not prepared by gabriel phthalimide synthesis |
Answer» Answer:✔Aromatic amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel Phthalimide synthesis reaction because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic SUBSTITUTION with the ANION formed by phthalimide. ✔It is USED for the preparation of primary aliphatic amines. ✔Phthalimide on treatment with ethanolic POTASSIUM hydroxide forms potassium salt of phthalimide which on heating with alkyl halide followed by ALKALINE hydrolysis produces the corresponding primary amine. |
