Explain gabriel phthalimide synthesis with comlete structure.

Hi Mahfooz,
The Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amine. The starting compound is a phthalimide.
The following reactions are involved in the preparation of primary amine from phthalimide.
Aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this process as aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide.
Hope, the answer is clear to you.
Cheers!
