Amine that cannot be prepared by Gabriel...

Amine that cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is

A

aniline

B

benzylamine

C

methylamine

D

iso-butylamine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Only aliphatic primary amines can be prepared by Gabriel synthesis. Aniline cannot be prepared by this method because aryl halides (`C_(6)H_(5)Cl` or `C_(6)H_(5)Br`) do phthalimide under ordinary conditions to give N-phenyl phthalimide (ie, cleavage of C-X bond in haloarenes is quite difficult).
