ANSWER:
✔Aromatic amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel Phthalimide synthesis reaction because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide.
✔It is used for the preparation of primary aliphatic amines.
✔Phthalimide on treatment with ethanolic potassium hydroxide forms potassium salt of phthalimide which on heating with alkyl halide followed by alkaline hydrolysis produces the corresponding primary amine.
