Question

Primary amines can be best prepared from alkyl halides by

• A. Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
• B. Hoffmann bromamide reaction
• C. Reaction with $N{H}_3$
• D. Leukart reaction

Answer 1

The correct option is A Gabriel phthalimide synthesis

Hoffmann reaction involves the conversion of amide to amine

Reaction with $N{H}_3$ involves the formation of quarternary salts when reacted with an alkyl halide

Leukart reaction involves the conversion of an aldehyde or a ketone to an amine
