where, X is halogen)
bond and in aromatic halides bond acquires double
bond character.
Answer:
In Gabriel phthalimide reaction, potassium salt of
phthalimide is formed. It reacts readily with alkyl halide to form the
corresponding alkyl derivative.
But aryl halide does not react
with potassium phthalimide. BecauseC?X bond in haloarene (alkyl halide) is
difficult to be cleaved due topartial double bond character. So, aromatic
primary amines cannot beprepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
