Why cannot aromatic primary amines be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis?
Answer
Gabrielphthalimide synthesis is used for the preparation of aliphatic primary amines. It involves nucleophilic substitution $\left(\mathrm{SN}_2\right)$ of alkyl halides by the anion formed by the phthalimide.

But aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by the phthalimide.

Hence, aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this process. View full question & answer→Question 61 Mark

Account for the following:
Although amino group is o– and p– directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.
AnswerThe nitration of aniline is carried out using conc. $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$. However, in the presence of conc. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$, aniline forms aniline hydrogen sulphate in which the anilinium ion, $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_3{ }^{+}$is meta directing because the positive charge on the nitrogen attracts electrons from the benzene ring.

Write short notes on the following: 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.

Give plausible explanation for each of the following:
Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?
AnswerAmines are polar compounds and can form H-bonds as proton acceptors. Only primary and secondary amines can form intermolecular H-bonding due to the presence of H atom at N atom. Tertiary amines cannot form intermolecular in-bonding. Primary amines are higher boiling due to the presence of a stronger intermolecular force of attraction due to H-bonding.

Account for the following:
$pK_b$ of aniline is more than that of methylamine.
AnswerIt is because, in aniline, the $NH_2$ group is attached directly to the benzene ring. It results in the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom to be in conjugation with the benzene ring and thus making it less available for protonation.
on another hand, in the case of methylamine (due to the +I effect of a methyl group), the electron density on the N-atom is increased. As a result, aniline is less basic than methylamine. Thus, $pk_b$ of aniline is more than that of methylamine.

Account for the following:
Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
AnswerA Friedel-crafts reaction is carried out in the presence of $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$. but $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$ is acidic in nature, while aniline is a strong base. Thus, aniline reacts with $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$ to form a salt. Due to the positive charge on the N -atom, electrophilic substitution in the benzene ring is deactivated. Hence, aniline does not under go the Friedel-crafts reactions.
Aniline does not under Friedel-Craft reaction (alkylation and acetylation) due to the salt formation with aluminium chloride, the Lewis acid which is used as a catalyst. Due to this, the nitrogen of aniline acquires a positive charge and hence acts as a strong deactivating group for further reaction.

Account for the following:
Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising primary amines.
AnswerGabriel phthalimide synthesis results in the formation of primary amine only. secondary or tertiary amines are not formed in this synthesis. thus, the pure primary amine can be obtained. Therefore, Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising primary amines.
Phthalimide is alkylated with alkyl or benzyl halide and then hydrolysed or hydrazinolysis to get pure primary amine. In this method, phthalic acid is produced which can be again converted into phthalimide and used over and over again.
