Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.

Answer
Gabriel phthalimide synthesis: Primary amines can be prepared by this process. In this process, phthalimide is reacted with alcoholic KOH to get potassium phthalimide which reacts with an alkyl halide to form N-alkyl phthalimide which on basis hydrolysis gives primary amine and phthalic acid. Phthalic acid can be reused to get phthalimide.
