Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used in thepreparation of primary amine fromphthalimide, which of the following reagent isnot used during the process?

Step-by-step solution

This reaction is used to prepare primary amines. In this reaction, phthalimide is converted it to potassium salt by heating with alcoholic ( KOH ). The salt is then treated with alkyl halide to give ( N )-alkyl phthalimide, which on alkaline hydrolysis with aqueous ( NaOH ) gives a primary amine as the product. Phthalimide Phthalic acid Ethyl amine
