Gabriel phthalimide synthesis can be used for the preparation of amine from

Step-by-step solution

C H 3 C H 2 B r is more reactive in S N 2 reactions. In ( C H 3 ) 3 C B r , steric hindrance at the carbon of C - B r is very high, therefore, the nucleophilic attack of phthalimide anion is mechanically hindered. The - C H 3 and - O C H 3 are electron-donating groups, which do not activate Br atom for nucleophilic substitutions reactions. Hence, compounds C and D are not also used for the preparation of amines.
