(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.

- When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels,at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.arrow_forwardDraw the major product formed by treating each amine with excess CH3I, followed by Ag2O, and then heat.arrow_forwardExplain why m-nitroaniline is a stronger base than p-nitroaniline.arrow_forward
