The Gabriel synthesis is a chemical reaction that transforms primary alkyl halides into primary amines. Traditionally, the reaction uses potassium phthalimide.[1][2][3] The reaction is named after the German chemist Siegmund Gabriel.[4]
The Gabriel reaction has been generalized to include the alkylation of sulfonamides[5] and imides, followed by deprotection, to obtain amines (see Alternative Gabriel reagents).[6][7]
The alkylation of ammonia is often an unselective and inefficient route to amines. In the Gabriel method, phthalimide anion is employed as a surrogate of H2N−.
