benzeneamine

D

N,N-dimethylmethanamine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Only alphatic primary `(1 ^(@))` amines (amines having the formula `R - NH _(2)` where `R ne C _(6)H _(5))` are synthesised by Gabriel.s phthaimide syntesis.
The structures of the given compounds are as follows.
(a) `C _(2) H _(5) NH _(2)` exthanmine. (`1 ^(@)` amine)
(b) `CH _(3) NHCH _(3)` N-methyimethanamine (`2^(@)`amine.)

benzenemine (`1 ^(@)` aromatic amine)
`(CH _(3)) _(3) NN, N-` dimethyl methanamine (`3 ^(@)` amine)

p-toluidine (`1^(@)` aromatic amine)
Thus, only ethannamine can be obtained from Gabriel.s phthalimide synthesis among the given compounds.
