Question
Chemistry Question on Preparation of Amines
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion (A) : Gabriel phthalimide reaction can be used to prepare aryl and alkyl amines.
Reason (R) : Aryl halides have same reactivity as alkyl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reactions
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.
If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
If both Assertion and Reason are false.
If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Solution
Gabriel phthalimide reaction can be used to prepare alkyl and alkyl primary amines. These undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions but aryl halides do not.
