Description

https://joechem.io/videos/88 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link) In this video, we'll explore making Phthalimide, the key reagent used in the Gabriel Synthesis (see the Gabriel Synthesis video here https://joechem.io/videos/88). This will be an exercise in doing a double addition-elimination forming diamide reaction To be clear, this is NOT the Gabriel Synthesis, but I have seen teachers ask for this mechanism since it tests your addition elimination knowledge and can then feed into a Gabriel Synthesis question.
