The reaction is called
Options
- ACarbylamine reaction
- BHofmann reaction
- CGabriel phthalimide synthesis
- DCope reaction
Correct answer
C. Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
Step-by-step solution
This reaction is called Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. This method is most suitable for 1 ° amine, because 1 ° halides are most reactive in S N 2 displacement reaction. Halides in S N 2 displacements are reactive. 2 ° amines give poor yields, due to elimination.
