Chapter 24.6, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the mechanism of the last step in Gabriel amine synthesis, the basepromoted hydrolysis of a phthalimide to yield an amine plus phthalate ion.

Concept introduction:

An imide (-CoNHCo-) is similar to a β- keto ester, in that the acidic N-H hydrogen is flanked by two carbonyl groups.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
On the basis of the general mechanism for amide hydrolysis in acidic solution shown in Mechanism 20.4, write an analogous sequence of steps for the hydrolysis of acetanilide.
why is the formation of an amide from an acid chloride proceeds easily when appropriate amount of amine is added to the reaction but an amide to an acid chloride is impossible
Explain why a much better yield of primary amine is obtained from the reaction of an alkyl halide with azide ion (-N3), followed by catalytic hydrogenation. (Hint: An alkyl azide is not nucleophilic.)
