Explain Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
✓
Answer
Phthalimide is reacted with alcoholic KOH to form potassium phthalimide. Further potassium phthalimide is treated with an ethyl iodide. The product N-ethylphthalimide is hydrolysed with aq NaOH to form ethyl amine. This reaction is known Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
