Gabriel phthalimide reaction is used for the preparation of:

Aprimary aromatic amines
Bsecondary amines
Cprimary aliphatic amines
Correct Answer
Dtertiary amines

Solution

Gabriel phthalimide reaction is used for the preparation of primary aliphatic amines.
In presence of $$NaOH$$ or $$KOH$$, phthalimide reacts with primary aliphatic alkyl halide to form primary aliphatic amine.
Here, $$-X$$ group is replaced with $$-NH_2$$ group. The side product is phthalic acid.
