Number of isomeric aromatic amines with molecular formula C8H11N, which can be synthesized by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is _________.

1. [5]
2. [4]
3. [6]
4. [7]

Correct answer: [5]

Solution

The Gabriel phthalimide synthesis allows for the formation of primary amines from phthalimide, and in the case of C8H11N, five distinct isomeric aromatic amines can be generated based on the different arrangements of the aromatic ring and the alkyl substituents.
