Question

Prepare of ethylamine by gabriel phthalimide synthesis

Answer 1

Answer:

You can best prepare a primary aminefrom 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‐alkylphthalimide can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acids or bases into the primary amine.
