Question

What cannot primary amines be prepared by gabriel phthalimide synthesis?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used for the preparation of aliphatic primary amines. ... But aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by the phthalimide. Hence, aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this process

Answer 2

$\huge\textcolor{indigo}{\rm{Answer :-}}$

Aromatic primary amines can not be prepared by Gabriel Phthalimide synthesis, because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophillic substitution reaction with the anion formed by the phthalamide.
