Potassium phthalimide on reaction with c...

Potassium phthalimide on reaction with compound (A) followed by hydrolysis forms isopentyl amine. The compound (A) will be:

A

`CH _3-CH(CH_3)-CH(Br)-CH_3`

B

`CH_3-C(CH_3)(Br)-CH_2-CH_3`

C

`Br-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_3`

D

`CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_2Br`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The given reaction sequence is for Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. The synthesis is sucessful only if haloalkane is primary, secondary haloalkanes produce elimination product, alkenes.
