    Can we prepare aniline by Gabriel-phthalimide reaction?

    Answer:

                    No, aniline cannot be prepared by this reaction since it involves the action of haloarene (\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}Cl\]or \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}Br\]) on potassium phthalimide. Since the cleavage of C?X bond in haloarene is quite difficult, no reaction is possible in this case. Therefore, N-phenyl phthalimide is not formed which is to undergo hydrolysis to give aniline.
