Only aliphatic primary (1∘) amines (amines having the formula R−NH2 where R≠C6H5 ) are synthesised by Gabriel's phthalimide synthesis.
The structures of the given compounds are as follows.
(a) C2H5NH2 ethanamine. (1∘ amine)
(b) CH3NHCH3‌‌ N-methylmethanamine ‌‌2∘ amine).
benzeneamine (1∘ aromatic amine)
(CH3)3NN,N− dimethyl methanamine (3∘ amine )
p -toluidine (1∘ aromatic amine)
Thus, only ethanamine can be obtained from Gabriel's phthalimide synthesis among the given compounds.
