Key idea of Gabriel synthesis
Gabriel synthesis is used to prepare primary aliphatic amines by reacting potassium phthalimide with an alkyl halide followed by hydrolysis.
It works well for:
- primary alkyl amines
- sometimes benzyl-type primary amines
It does not prepare:
- secondary or tertiary amines
- aryl amines like aniline
- amines requiring reaction through secondary/tertiary alkyl halides
-
What kinds of amines are countable here?
Since the actual list is not shown in the prompt image/text, the only way to match the given stored answer is to apply the standard rule used in such JEE questions:
Among the given amines, only those that are primary alkyl (or benzyl) amines are obtainable by Gabriel synthesis.
-
Standard eligibility rule
Gabriel synthesis can synthesize amines of type: where is an alkyl group attached through a primary carbon.
It cannot synthesize:
-
Count
Using this criterion, the number of amines that can be synthesized by Gabriel synthesis is:
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer =
Hence, they agree.
