Question

Papration of ethylamine by gabriel phthalimide synthesis

Answer 1

Answer:

You can best prepare a primary amine from its alkylazide by reduction or by the Gabriel synthesis. In the Gabriel synthesis, potassium phthalimide is reacted with an alkyl halide to produce an N‐alkyl phthalimide. This N‐alkyl phthalimide can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acids or bases into the primary amine.
