Chemistry - AMINES Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation:

Identify which compound can be prepared in good yield using Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.

Concept:

This is based on preparation of primary amines by Gabriel Phthalimide synthesis. Solution:  

Gabriel synthesis involves reaction of potassium phthalimide with alkyl halides (R–X) followed by hydrolysis. It gives only primary aliphatic amines via S_N2 reaction. 

Benzyl halides readily undergo S_N2 reaction, giving benzylamine (C₆H₅–CH₂–NH₂ ) in good yield.

It does not give aromatic amines (aniline), 2° or 3° amines and  amides.

Final Answer: Option (A)
