Statement 1 : Aromatic 1° amines can be prepared by Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis.

Statement 2 : Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion formed by phthalimide.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Both are wrong: aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the phthalimide anion (aryl C—X is unreactive to SN2), so Gabriel synthesis cannot give aromatic 1° amines. NCERT print key (i).
