Which of the following amines can be prepared by Gabriel synthesis.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B
Solution:

Gabriel synthesis works with 1° alkyl halides (SN2 on the phthalimide anion) and gives 1° amines: isobutylamine and 2-phenylethylamine qualify. It cannot give 2° amines (N-methylbenzylamine) or aryl amines (aniline, because aryl halides do not undergo SN2).
