- BA and C Only
- CB and C Only
- DA and B Only
Correct answer
C. B and C Only
Step-by-step solution
Statement A: In benzylamine ( C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ ), the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is localized and not involved in resonance. In aniline ( C₆H₅NH₂ ), the lone pair is delocalized over the benzene ring. Hence, benzylamine is a stronger base than aniline. Statement A is correct. Statement B: Gabriel phthalimide synthesis involves the nucleophilic substitution ( S_N2 ) of an alkyl halide by the phthalimide anion. Aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution easily due to the partial double bond char
