(b)
Interpretation: The alkyl halide needed to prepare the given primary amine by Gabriel synthesis is to be determined.
Concept introduction: Gabriel synthesis is a method of preparation of primary amines. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The phthalimide in presence of base forms the resonance stabilized anion which acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of alkyl haides.

- Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following intramolecular reaction.arrow_forwardAspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO−) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme. This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.arrow_forwardWhat is the reduction product of the following compound with H2/Pd?
