Method by which aniline cannot be prepared is:

1. hydrolysis of phenylisocyanide with acidic solution
2. degradation of benzamide with bromine in alkaline solution
3. reduction of nitrobenzene with H2/Pd in ethanol
4. potassium salt of phthalimide treated with chlorobenzene followed by hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH solution

Correct answer: potassium salt of phthalimide treated with chlorobenzene followed by hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH solution

Solution

The Gabriel phthalimide synthesis (option D) is not suitable for preparing aniline because it specifically produces primary aliphatic amines, not aromatic amines like aniline.
