Q.
Which of the amines can not be prepared by Gabriel's phthalimide synthesis?
NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022
Solution:
The Gabriel synthesis is a chemical reaction that transforms primary alkyl halides into primary amines. Traditionally, the reaction uses potassium phthalimide. Gabriel's phthalimide synthesis involves $S_{N}2$ reaction, thus $3^{o}$ butyl amine cannot be prepared through this method.
