Which of the following amine will be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide reaction?

Options

A. neo-pentylamine
B. t-butylamine
C. n-butylamine
D. triethylamine

Answer

C

Explanation

Gabriel pthalimide reaction is used to prepare only 1° aliphatic amines.

above reaction, R – Br undergoes reaction, Hence electrophilicity of α-carbon should be high as well as its hindrance should be low for greater ease of reaction

Hence, ease of formation of n-butyl amine is higher. Therefore, it is most probable answer
